Never before have I ever gone through
the headaches of car ownership than I
have with this car. In the shop 9
times within 1 year: 90% complete
engine overhaul after hearing sickening
loud metallic hammering, dead fuel pump
upon starting car on the morning of an
international flight, embarrassing loud
squeaky frame, very loud tapping
from "normal" vapor removal pump,
metallic squeak from brakes first two
months of ownership, obvious vibrations
behind temperature control console, the
occasional slamming into 2nd gear..et
al. Mercedes reps from dealer to CEO
Halata refuse to take responsibility
for their hugely sub-par product.
