 MB OF MASSAPEQUA IS A SLEAZY ORGANIZATION. THE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES NOT TO CORRECT MANUFACTURES DEFECTS COVERED UNDER FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTIES. EVEN MERCEDES BENZ HEADQUARTERS IN NJ DOES NOT ABIDE BY THE LAW. I HAD A DEFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT CRACKED RIGHT ALONG THE WELD. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS IN THE COUNTRY ONLY TO FIND OUT LATER THAT THERE WERE 3 AT MERCEDES BENZ SILVER STAR IN LONG ISLAND CITY. IF I WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. THEY COULD HAVE IT THE NEXT DAY. STAY AWAY FROM THIS OPERATION AT ALL COSTS. THEY EVEN DENIED AT FIRST EVER CORRECTING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM ONLY TO CHANGE THERE STORY WHEN I TOLD THEM I HAD INVOICES TO PROVE IT. THEN THE WORK ORDER MYSTERIOUSLY SHOWED BACK UP IN THERE COMPUTER. WATCH OUT, DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE CROOKS YOU WILL BE TAKING A HUGE RISK. DON'T PUT ANYTHING PAST THEM. DON'T TRUST ANYONE WHO OFFERS OIL CHANGES AND BOTOX INJECTIONS IN THE SAME BUILDING.

Set both passenger and driver temperature to 76 degree and turn on Auto. The climate control pushed out cold air in the morning and hot air in the afternoon when car is warm.

Did some tests-start car-let run a minute or so-shut it off and restart in 30 minutes. No smoke-so much for my theory. Took car to MB dealer. Usual and totally expected response. Customer knows nothing-never heard of this problem before-probably condensation. MB did a software update on oil pressure monitor. Maybe clue. Does MB control oil pressure with computer? If so, this could be explanation-upon startup oil pressure sometimes too high over oiling pistons resulting in blue smoke. Anyone know anything about how MB controls oil pressure in new 3.5 engine? Would make sense though I have never heard of this before. If it keeps it up, before warranty expires I will wave magic wand over the MB, sprinkle some foo-foo dust on it and turn it into a Lexus. That will fix the problem! |

I have a 2005 E320 and it is a great car. I never have problems with it. I also have a 2007 Lexus RX350. I should have waited 6 months and got the 2008 model. Im thinking about upgrading to the S550?? SHOULD I?

Replying to: s550iwish (Apr 12, 2007 2:37 pm) I leased my E350 4MATIC June 1 2006 brand new. Now it has almost 14K miles. Full of problems. Two months ago they changed engine because of check engine light. They could not find the reason why it was on. The car was at the dealership for almost 3 weeks. Now I got message ABS off, ESP off and cruise control malfunction. The car at the dealership almost 10 days already. Dealer actually makes everything possible to help me, providing loaner anytime I need it, but I'm paying lease $650 a month for E-class and driving C class, which cost at least $150-200 per month less. Does anybody know what is Lemon Law and where to get info how it applies ? Any respond is greatly apriciated. Alex.
