2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 review from North America
"An elegant and sporty sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Lug nuts rusted
2.Rear window regular broke.
3. Oil leak in rear axle.
5. Computer failure in traction control.
6. The electric door lock switch is lo-
cated inconveinently in the middle of
the dash.
7. The power window buttons are located
inconveinently in the center counsel.
8. And most alarming, my three year old
child opens the rear doors as the car
is running. This vehicle does not
have child locks for the rear doors.
This was confirmed by the dealer.
General comments?
The E320 is as smooth as silk, especially the transmission.
However, after the warranty I would be worried on expensive repairs.
All maintenance covered during the warrant, oil changes, fluids, etc.
