"Poor build quality"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

In the two years I have owned it:

Dashboard replaced twice, but in dealer 5 times for fault identification

Rear tail gate rehung

Suspension adjusted

Brakes replaced twice

Wipers failed

Kick plate replaced

Door rehung

Not full specification when delivered.

General comments?

The car is practical for London, but rattles like a 5 year old Skoda. The dealer service is not great, but that might be a factor of the frequency of visits.

Mercedes Head Office seem unwilling to accept repsonsiblity for the service and our satisfaction levels although the admit the technical problems are unusual.

The good part is, I assure you this car will be good for many thousands of miles. Just service it at due times.
