Three window regulators, loose wheel bearing, squeaky seats, air mass sensor failure, malfuntion valve, O2 sensor replacement, dead battery, and many other little things that make today's Mercedes synonym to unreliable and irresponsible. Talk about total ownership cost and "state of denial" that some of us are in. It's true that Mercedes used to make cars that surpass and excel even today's standard; however, today's Mercedes quality is falling into a black hole that we will never see an end to this turmoil, at least in a near future. I know many of you may have heard of this already, I still have to say it one more time. Compared to the Camry I used to own, my Mercedes is a piece of junk, it's a fast-food car like McDonald food. Nowaday, people buy Mercedes because it's a Mercedes, not because what used to make a Mercedes a Mercedes, quality, durability, and reliability. All these essential ingridients are long gone. Neverthless, people only care about the name, a non existant attribute made up of aggressive marketing campaign and prapaganda. After all, German engineer is no better than Detroit Innovation. Buyer beware.
