| Trying to resolve a small chip on my new 07' e 350. I took delivery a week ago - and two days later I found a SMALL paint chip on the hood face near the front driver windshield which is located on the rim of the hood. For the life of me I can't figure out how it happened. I noticed the wipers don't come out to clean windows - but even if they did the wipe arm would not have caused the problem. Is it possible - the car came this way?. Should we all do a complete once over on our car upon delivery?. I took it back to the detail shop at the dealer and the guy used a small touch up brush with black paint to cover the chip. but I still see it everytime I drive and the brush dryed the paint somewhat to the left and right of the chip creating a small bump. The dealer has instructed me to bring the car in Monday AM and will give me a loaner. He says not a good idea to repaint the entire hood and will have his paint guy who repairs chips on bumbers do the work. Is this a satisfactory solution?. What would you do?. | |
| My 94 e320 wagon has started to do an odd thing. WHile driving the ASR light will come on and the engine will drop to 500 rpm or so . I have to turn it off and restart it. The dealer cant find anything wrong, and of course the day the mech drove it home overnight it never did it. Any ideas? | |

After reading about all the failed rear windows, I'm getting really worried. I had a 96 E320 which I sold at 140K miles and I'm now riding in a 2001 E320 with 80K miles and I've never had a failed window. I think I read something a couple of years ago that if you use the windows a lot then you rarely have the failure. Might it have to do with that little plastic wheel sitting in one position and the pressure of the cable digs into it? Anyway, I use my rear windows a lot, almost every day and I've never had even a hint of a problem. (Fingers crossed!!) Nowadays I can't tell what the outside temp. is; a couple of segments of each character of the temp. digits on the dashboard are blank. They are intermittent though; they will light up for a few minutes a few times per week. Does anyone know if this is covered under Starmark? OK, you can stop laughing now...!! And has anyone experienced having the alarm go off as you open the driver's door even though it is unlocked? It has happened 10-12 times over the last 6 months and the other day, I noticed for the first time that the driver's door is unlocked but the other three doors are still locked from when they were auto-locked when it was last driven. The dealer replaced the door switch a month ago, which I thought was strange, but maybe they are on the right path. I suspect the electronics are not unlocking the other doors when the driver opens his/her door. Again, do you think Starmark will cover the electronics? OK, enough of that laughing now..! Around 76K miles my 2001 had a failed wheel bearing. I can't even remember the last time I owned a car that had a bad bearing; probably 35 years and a million miles ago..! So it isn't just electronics folks.. Even the most ancient of mechanical parts has been subjected to cost cutting..!
