| My wife came out to start the vehicle and noticed the car was leaning severely to one side. the driver front and rear was tilted, something i never witnessed before on any vehicle i once owned. i took it to the dealer and they told me it was a sensor that controlled the balance of the vehicle. the sensor was changed and a few days later it started leaning again. i noticed when the vehicle sits it will begin to lean, but once it is driven for 10 miles it begins to balance itself. i have been trying to contact you all about this situation, however to no , so now i will begin taking further procedures to correct this situation, and not have to continue paying for a default that`s inconceivable. | |||

| 2006 mercedes benz r350 stalled in the middle of a residential intersection shortly after the car was purchased. within a short period of time after getting the car, we also felt a strong jerking then shifting gears, but it was doing it on its own. we took it in and was told it's just loud. then we were told there was a recall. they were supposed to fix it but it never stopped. the check engine light continued to come on. other issues related to the engine had to be fixed rather quickly. the car was purchased in the end of 2005, and has 88,000 miles. over a year ago, the car began idling/shaking really bad. i called mb roadside and was told that it was probably because the gas cap wasn't placed back on the car correctly and gas was leaking. i had the car checked and there was no gas leaking. the car was taken to the dealership where i was told the intake manifold was broken and needed to be replaced before anything else could be diagnosed. the car is still idling bad and check engine light is on. it is now back at the dealership it was purchased from for a diagnosis, which i should receive tomorrow. | |||

| Rear light modules (tail, reverse, brake, signal) keeps on failing. dealer quotes initially $200 to fix/rewire but then goes up to $800 to replace ecu. this is frustrating as this is drving hazard, owners are left without much choice. i have seen multiple complaints of the same issue so mb should already know that this problem exists and be honest upfront about it. i hope nobody gets hurt if the lights fail while driving this model/brand. | |||

| On my 2006 mercedez benz r350, the rear breaklights and tail lights regularly fail to eluminate. the lights are very inconsistent and when they fail a back-up substitute light comes on. a message appears on the dash indicating that the substitute lights are on. after changing the bulbs numerous times, i was told by a mechanic at mercedes that the contact may be worn out. | |||
