Not sure about the 2002, but isn't the recall list quite long for the 2000 S-Class?

I know a lady at work that has a 2000 S500 that she bought brand new and I remember hearing her complaining about recalls. She would come in and say, "WELL, MY CAR HAS ANOTHER RECALL", very crossly I might add. I was going to tell her that I would trade her my 1985 S-Class for it.

Maybe not- she trashes that car... its never been cleaned (inside or out) and it is literally a dog house. She hauls her 5 dogs in it.... they ride on the dash, package shelf, etc. I cherish my pups, but if I were to take them anywhere with me, it would be in my old car... not a late model (or new) S-Class. Normally, when we take the pets on a trip, we take a rental or take my folks cars.

Enjoy!
