| The srs light came on once before like 6 months back, and the mechanic cleared the code. this light came back on sept 5, 2012. the mercedes dealer told me that there are 2 fault codes: 1. 900b - passenger side seat belt buckle 2. 9243 - passenger side airbag ignition squib this car has only close to 37,000 miles. and this is a safety issue with airbags will not deploy in accidents. this car has never been in any accidents and is in pristine condition. i very strongly feel this is poor workmanship by mercedes and they should have a recall to fix this as this relates to safety. *tr | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the automatic driver seat in the vehicle moved forward on its own, pushing the contact into the steering wheel. the vehicle was not recording the correct seat position of each driver. the vehicle was taken to a service dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem. also, both front tires made a thumping noise while driving at any speed. a service dealer determined that the wear on the tread was uneven. due to the vehicle having staggered wheels, the tires could not be rotated. | |||

| Blow out of right rear tire (costco item #758707 bridgestone/firestone re750 245/40r17 ultra high performance) resulting in $2000 worth of vehicle damage. defective tire remnants sent to bridgestone/firestone. their inspector denies that the tire failure was a result of a defect in materials or workmanship. i do not believe they have objectively evaluated the tire remains and are attempting to avoid excepting responsibilities for the blowout which would amount to covering my $2000 out of pocket expenses. *jb | |||

| Tires on the mercedes clk320 are not designed to last very long and become bald quickly creating dangerous driving conditions. according to the service manger at the mercedes dealership the tires supplied with the car are rated for only 8,000 to at best 11,000 miles. they tires can not handle simply brakes in the road and rip apart very easily. i know of someone else with this car that has experienced the same dangerous conditions. *jb | |||
