Pathetic reliability

I purchased this vehicle when the odometer read 117,000 miles and have driven it an additional 28,000 miles over the past two years. During this period of ownership, I have encountered numerous issues, including problems with the ECM, fuel pump, rack and pinion, Airmatic suspension, oil leaks, and secondary air pump failures. I have spent over $10,000 on repairs, but the problems seem never-ending. The cost of parts and services is excessively high and very frustrating. I strongly advise against buying a Mercedes, as their vehicle reliability has significantly declined. In my experience, European brands do not meet the reliability standards of Japanese vehicles. To elaborate further, the ECM (Engine Control Module) issues have caused significant disruptions in the vehicle's performance, leading to unexpected stalls and poor fuel efficiency. The fuel pump failure left me stranded on multiple occasions, requiring costly towing services. The rack and pinion problems have affected the steering, making it difficult to control the vehicle safely. The Airmatic suspension failure resulted in an uncomfortable and bumpy ride, and the oil leaks have been persistent, causing a mess and potential engine damage. The secondary air pump failures have triggered numerous check engine lights, adding to the frustration. The financial burden of these repairs has been overwhelming. Each visit to the mechanic seems to uncover a new issue, and the high cost of parts and labor has made it difficult to keep up with the necessary maintenance. The constant need for repairs has also disrupted my daily life, as I have had to arrange alternative transportation and take time off work to address these problems. In conclusion, my experience with this vehicle has been extremely disappointing. The reliability issues and high repair costs have made it clear that this brand no longer meets the standards I expect from a vehicle. I would strongly advise others to consider more reliable options, particularly those from Japanese manufacturers, which have consistently demonstrated better performance and dependability.

This SUV has everything you dream of having in a vehicle. Quiet and smooth ride, true luxury, powerful brakes, top of the line technology, nice looking, and best of all it's a Mercedes.
