Does the CR report mean that the BMW 7 series and Mercedes S class break down and leave the owners stranded? Or do they mean that some little features break and require repair?

Considering the price you pay for a new MB, especially the S class, everything should be reliable. Any new car will need some attention but MB quality has certainly gone down the past 5 years. And check out the used prices....MBs used to hold their value for years. Now when the car is out of warranty nobody wants to pay large dollars for a used Benz because the wise buyers know they will be facing thousands of dollars in repairs for electronics, gagets, and AC issues.
