This is the worst premium car i have ever had. Seriously, it is almost comical that you set the expectations so high in such a "high end car" to be right back in the dealer every 2-3K miles and drive a loaner car. Be ready for constant check engine light on, break problems, ac problems, just to mention the most annoying and apparently commun troubles with the S-550. Last time that i took the car back for a break problem, dealer told me that MB is preparing a "permanent" solution for this situation due to the high frequency of this occurrence (rotors)... really?, at this point, one year after rolling out this model, they dont have a solution for a break fall out? Bummer!
The best there is!

Great car. Nothing to really complain about. I really wanted a red exterior, but none was offered. Now the 2018s are here and still no red exterior color! The COMMAND system is very complicated and to make matters worse, most of the Owner's Manual is in the car's on-board hard drive memory system!

This is my 9th S sedan...........it's very tough to love. The tech stuff is virtually worthless while driving........most of it completely un needed or wanted......Hell it's hard to turn the radio stations, not kidding....completely unintuitive.......almost like German engineers are from another planet....thing that are worthwhile are the safety components which work well.......but are touted by MB as exclusive but are found on Ford Focus's.............We owned many MB's since 1980......the first being a 240 d.......but I've about had it.......the development money is going into the small Benz's I suppose.........maybe move on to Porsche.......really running out of high end brands. ( since your a car research group I'll list our current ownership Two Gwagons, a GlE (think that's what they call it) and the S)....Thanks Bb PS.....The cars have long lost their exclusiveness........without......why pay more?

The plastic front grill is blistering and Mercedes-Benz won’t do anything about it

I also own a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited loaded especially with safety features. The Jeep in reverse is much better and safer than the Mercedes S550. There are NO warnings of oncoming cars or people when reversing. In reverse is important. If you back out of a parking lot there are no warnings. I have surround cameras and that is my only way to see if cars or people are behind the car when backing up. The Jeep actually YELLS at you with warning alarm and if very close the Jeep applies the breaks. The Mercedes does not. Poor planning. I have lots of chips on the windshield that I feel should never have happened. Poor windshield in my opinion
