I have had several major problems with this car. First, the ABS brakes go out and grind if you hit a bump and the brakes at the same time. Have had this checked at the dealer when the car was new several times, they could not find a problem.
Second, the electrical system goes out continuously. Sometimes when I start the car, there is no electrical power to anything including, but not limited to, the radio, air, heat, light panels and power steering.
Third, the air conditioning went up twice (luckily while still under warranty and Daimler was very pleasant and easy to deal with.)
Forth, I had a recall for some type of boot that goes into the wheel. I took the car to the dealer and they inspected it and said that it was fine. About 6 months later, I was driving in a community and this boot and rod thing (sorry, I'm not exactly sure what it is called) fell into my wheel well. My car was at that time out of warranty, but the manufacturer did pay for the parts (not the labor because I took it to a mechanic, not the dealer). My mechanic did tell me that I was lucky that I wasn't driving faster than 25 miles an hour because that could have caused a serious accident.
Lastly, the heat has never really worked correctly (including the fan) and it is currently not working at all.
I love the way this car looks and drives. It is comfortable and easy to maneuver.
Have you checked for all the recalls on this car at your dealer and if they refuse get a hold of the detroit plant and they will remburse you for them and do all of the recall work for free good luck.
