Hello, I have an 06 CLK350 Cab. Recently I've hears a metal creaking coming (I think it's coming from)form above the sun visor on the driver side. I think it might be the piece on top part of the windshield, before the top. I think it might be flexing since I only hear it at high speeds. Any one else heard anything similar?

Yet another problem. Today I popped my trunk open and then went to close it (car sat all week) and the red brake light in the trunk literally popped out of the trunk. Seems it cracked off. Meanwhile, assembly has fallen into trunk. Anyone else have this happen? Receptionist at dealer said she's heard of it. I really am not happy with quality of this car. This is my second CLK cabriolet and quality sucks.

Replying to: bill124 (Nov 17, 2007 8:00 pm) The dealer should not point a finger at you, this is why I will never go back to Audi, it was all I ever got...everything was my fault even if the mechanic witnessed the actual failure - they even wrote it in the repair....truly pathetic. Sorry don't want to get harping on that brand, wrong forum (though I made some posts there) Bottom line bill124 your car is under warranty, it is expensive and MB, especially the dealer) should not give you any hassle. Good luck |

Replying to: bill124 (Nov 19, 2007 10:40 am) Dealer then said my 2005, with about 15K miles on it, is showing wear on rear tires and that life on the tires is 15-20K miles. Anyone else have this experience or hear this? He said I probably have another 1-2K miles left and given that car goes back in May, I will likely ride it out.

| hey Bill 124 ,15000 miles on a set of CLK tires is not bad, regardless of the brand.First. they can`t be rotated if the front and back tires are different widths and most performance autos are. Second ,the alloy wheels bend very easily causing uneven tread wear. I have a 430 CLK cabrio with 23,000 miles and all 4 wheels are bent to some degree.The price per wheel runs over $300.. I`ve changed from Pilots to Toyo`s . So far they`re fine and considerably cheaper. I avoid every pothole like the plague....(Roland Thrust) | |

Thanks for the replies on tires. Does anyone know how to turn off or reset the reminder for service a/b? My neighbor (retired mechanic) did service but he didn't know how to turn off reminder. Used to be could be reset by pushing in reset button but that doesn't seem to work on 2005.
