2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E280 review from UK and Ireland
"Poor design badly executed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Always something wrong with this car.
Brakes, ESP, Safety Sensors and airbags.
Safety sensor in drivers seat fault disabled ALL the onboard safety systems. Took two dealers 10 months to fix, totally unacceptable.
Tyres last about 22,000 miles and cost close to £200 each.
Rear seat latch fault never fixed by dealer.
General comments?
Glad to get rid of this terrible car.
Overweight with poor use of interior space.
Ridiculously high fuel consumption 15-22mpg.
Terrible dealer service, buyer beware!
Good ride quality (in a straight line).
