#80 of 98 Re: Trunk brake light cracked [bill124] by bryangmd Dec 07, 2007 (7:01 am)
Replying to: bill124 (Nov 20, 2007 7:35 am) I got about 22K out of my rear tires, front ones are still going at 32k. I think I got 6 months out of the tires after the dealer told me to get new ones. Unfortunately I blew one on a hot day in August. I put Continentals back on, not a great idea. I get a wobble to the car especially when cold. I was told that Continentals are referred to as "the square tire" because of the way they ride.

Replying to: bryangmd (Aug 24, 2007 8:37 am) Three trips to two different dealers finally fixed it. Above the windshield there is a piece of molding that covers the top of the windshield. The clips holding that on were not clipped on properly and the piece was separating from the windshield at high speeds causing a medal creaking. Most likely happened when I had the windshield replaced.

Replying to: bill124 (Nov 27, 2007 8:55 am) Same problem. I have a 2005 CLK 320. Recently serviced by my local mechanic but he didn't know how to turn off reminder. Did you ever get an answer? BTW, my lease ends in 3 months- might be interested in CLK350- have they made any significant changes? Replies to this message: bill124 (Jan 14, 2008 7:28 am)

Replying to: ajb723 (Jan 13, 2008 12:47 pm) I don't know. I am going to be in this boat probably also in around three - five months as I too have 2005 CLK 320. I haven't looked at 350. I thought I might go to BMW due to real lack of quality in MB and nonsense that MB believes their buyers should have to pay for stuff that other dealers include but will probably wind up with 350 (but only as lease - wouldn't want to own one). Still haven't managed to turn of reminder.
#84 of 98 Brake Issues CLK 350 by seaswept Jan 15, 2008 (2:31 pm)
Hello everyone! I recently purchased a certified pre-owned 2008 Mercedes Benz CLK 350. It now has 1600 miles on it. I've noticed that there is a lot of travel in the brake pedal before the brakes engage and it takes quite a bit of pressure to bring the car to a complete stop. My dealer has checked the brakes / braking system twice but can not find anything wrong and said there are no TS bulletins issued on it. I have to say, I don't have a lot of confidence in my brakes. I've owned other Mercedes vehicles along with BMW, Lexus etc, and have never had brake issues. The C280 the dealer gave me as a courtesy vehicle had stronger brakes than my CLK. Has anyone else had a similar issue with their CLK? Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be? I would appreciate any input anyone may have.

Replying to: seaswept (Jan 15, 2008 2:31 pm) I just leased a 2008 CLK-350 and noticed the same brake travel issue. My prior car was an Acura RL and it stopped on the dime with minimal travel.....although i haven't brought my CLK to the dealership, when i hit the 1000 mile checkup, i'll be sure to mention the brake "issue".   Keep you posted......

Replying to: cumbajoey (Feb 18, 2008 2:34 pm) Hi cumbajoey!   Please let me know what your dealer has to say regarding the brakes. Since my post, I contacted MB about the problem and they basically told me that there have not been any TSB's issued and if there are no TSB's there are no problems and if I don't like the car, trade it in. And that was that. I traded a 2007 Lexus SC 430 in for this Benz and I'm sorry I did. I could bring that car to a stop with one toe, never mind two feet like the Benz.
#88 of 98 Cheap Parts by changed Dec 10, 2008 (7:47 pm)
Has anyone had a problem with their third brake light (attached to the trunk)? I have a 2006 CLK 350 and brake light had broken off because of deteriorated cheap plastic (twice already). I was just wondering if anyone had the same problem and knows where I can purchase a not so cheap replacement part outside of the dealership.

Replying to: changed (Dec 10, 2008 7:47 pm) I had it happen to my 2005 CLK Cabriolet. I closed the trunk and it just broke. Glad I don't buy these things -- now leasing 2008. Total crap. If the BMW series 3 convertibles were a little bigger with a bigger trunk, I'd be there in a second with the free maintenance for 4 years.   As to brakes, yeah, they are soft, but they work and I don't feel like leaving it in shop.
