Keep in mind that MB has the least internet savvy customers of the big 3 German brands, so this must only be the tip of the iceburg.

Check out the E320, S500, etc. Makes you realize that spending a lot of money doesn't always mean a quality product.

If you look at the older models, the complaints are more related to old cars, not brand specific.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mercedesproblems.com/">Mercedes consumer complaint site.</a></li></ul>

Default That's the problem with customer service

The yahoos ruin it for those of us with real complaints and problems. As a former frontline person, I'm sure you've noticed this!!

Default Didn't he sit in it before he bought it? Maybe he was sitting on his brains?

I sat in one at the auto show Wednesday and it became apparent the seats were rock hard after about 15 seconds....

Default Yes, there are a lot of issues with MBZs...

I have worked for a MBZ dealer for a few months after working for Nissan for 3 years and I can't believe how many problems they have. Almost every car that we come in contact with has had a page full of warranty claims. I'm not impressed, but then there are those people with 400K on their old diesels and no major problems. Maybe they don't make them like they used to!
