2001 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Elegance review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat foam was not attached to the frame.
Stone chip in windscreen.
Sold a removable passenger seat, fixed seat fitted.
Electric windows fail once a week.
9mph door locking system failed.
Boot upholstery falls off when closed with the slightest vigor.
Stalls when going down a gear.
Seat height handle snapped off.
5 new tires.
2 sets of front brake pads.
1 set of brake disc's.
Parcel shelf bounces while driving.
Headlight bulbs blow on a regular basis
Rear window washer only sprays water on the inside of the car.
Paint peeled off the bumper.
Under seat drawers shoot out when braking sharply.
General comments?
I hate this car, I have driven a 190E for years and never though problems like these would be associated to a new Mercades.
