2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E500 review from North America
"No more reliabilty issues, I bought an 08 Saturn!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires had to be replaced every 12000 miles, alignment by the dealer kept changing.
Transmission electrical connector had to be replaced multiple times after fluid leakage and finally the torque convertor, control module and radiator failed. On a Mercedes with slightly over 30000 miles on it!
General comments?
Beautiful automobile,fun to drive and ride in, but it needed something repaired every time I got in it.
Constant Repairs and Problems.
