Mercedes Problems?

Hi,
I recently ran across this webpage:

http://www.mercedes-benz-usa.com/index.php

Talk about scary, but I'll stick with my 124's, a 300E and a E420. Had normal problems with both, but love the ride and power.

Geeee, I'll have to start a website for happy M-B owners.
Having lived with 2 M-B's for the last 5 years , I have not been disappointed in them.

I am truly "Heavily In Like" with my 24 year old W126 380 SE in the month or so that I've owned her, and am enjoying learning to DIY. Mine has the usual problems of a vehicle that was left setting for 4 years, but I am getting a handle on them and now most are fixed. She failed the Smog test the first time and passed the second after a bit of work, but she nearly always failed the first ones before. (probably the gas cap because she passed again(before) within minutes. I love her ride and how solidly built she is.



Perhaps this guy lives in a state without a lemon law?

Great link. Lots of real good information, except that most of it is at least five years old!

What a wacko- he's been assaulted and had his life threatened by Mercedes employees.

And if there were more like him, you could certainly find websites like this on just about every make of vehicle!

Yeah, in customer relations his type are the outliers. You can't make them happy no matter what you do, so you remove them from the data when you are crunching numbers.

I've seen this site before. I was amused by the guy who spent $50 grand on a fully-loaded C-class, then moans about it not having a CD player.

He's not very bright.

Or the lady who was upset that from the moment she drove the car off the lot, it pulled to the right. Isn't that something you A) either get fixed prior to making an offer, or B) Find a different vehicle?

Some people just shouldn't leave the house.
