What owners report
The transmission is starting to malfunction and is available for inspection. If the car looses power due to loss of pull it could create a hazard. Vehicle has been Inspected my Mercedes and determined to be faulty and this is a common issue with this car. Yes the car makes a grinding noise going into reverse and clunks when going around sharp turns.
SAFETY SYSTEMS ALL FAILED 7 TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING, USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED, SINCE 08/20/2017, WARNING LIGHTS (ABS, ESP, TRACTION CONTROL. PARKING BRAKE, ETC) STAYED ON UNTIL I COULD GET TO A DEALER. IN SPITE OF WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACEMENT (5 TIMES) AND REPROGRAMING, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MERCEDES- BENZ CANNOT FIX THIS OR EVEN DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR BUT DO NOT SEEM TO TAKE MUCH RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING ME AN UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE VEHICLE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST HAPPENED. THE CAR HAD 8,800 MILES AND NOW HAS 27,000 MILES. I HAVE THE SERVICE RECEIPTS AND CAN PROVIDE THEM IF NECESSARY.
THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR DOES NOT ADJUST OUTWARD ENOUGH TO SEE THE BLIND SPOT., REQUIRING A 140 DEGREE HEAD TURN FOR VISUAL INPUT ABOUT THE BLIND SPOT. I DON'T CARE ABOUT SEEING THE REAR QUARTER OF THE CAR, I NEEDED TO SEE THE BLIND SPOT. A DO-IT-YOURSELF REPAIR CONSISTED OF TAKING THE MIRROR APART AND SHIMMING THE MIRROR WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1/4'' PLUS TILT OUTWARD (1/4 INCH TO ZERO ACROSS THE MIRROR) SO THAT THE BLIND SPOT WAS VISIBLE (ABOUT 2' MORE OUTBOARD AT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE). IT IS NOTED THAT THE 'RED TRIANGLE' WARNING IS NICE BUT IS A PITIFUL SUBSTITUTE FOR PERIPHERAL VISION INFORMATION FOR MAKING SAFE LANE CHANGES.
