Seat height adjustment has fallen off both front seats. One has been replaced under warranty and arrangements are being made to replace the other.
Something squeaking in the car as it drives over manholes.
Automatic clutch 'grabs' when slowing down in first gear, and changing gears smoothly is suprisingly difficult as there's always a slight 'clunk'.
Front dashboard build is not very solid. Press on it and hear the subtle squeaks and groans eminating.
I *really* like this car, the looks, the badge, just everything about it. But after driving just 400km it's already beginning to annoy me in subtle, but important ways.
The design of the height adjustment levers appears to be poor, as a plastic part is used for leverage to turn a metal component. Wearing out is almost inevitable.
I expected a bit more from Mercedes-Benz.
Hi, I have just read your post, I also have an A class and whilst reading your post I noticed you said you were getting clunking noises from the ACS, well that is what happened to my car and then the ACS unit went resulting in 2'500 gbp worth of costs and the manufacturer would not part pay even though there was only 40'000 miles on the clock so beware.
