1998 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A140 review from UK and Ireland
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All electrical, sunroof problems, electrical brake problems.
Fuel leaking.
Noisy rattly engine. electric windows won't roll up. MOT failures and many more expensive problems.
General comments?
This car has been in our family since new, and while it is economical and fairly peppy, it has had many electrical issues. Also the fuel lines leaked.
MB cannot make cars without a bunch of electrical headaches. Japanese cars have mastered the art of electronics.
