2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 review from North America
"A very high priced mistake for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I bought the car new off the show room floor, both catalytic converters have needed to be replaced. These items were not observed by the service department while doing the 1st servicing. This leads me to question are the service techs competent?
The glove box that is located between the seat has had to be replaced due to a design defect.
Brake light that is located on the trunk has malfunctioned and has a collection of water inside and is being replaced.
General comments?
The catalytic converters are taking a very long time to replace, even though they are under warranty. It has been 2 weeks and I am still waiting for my local dealer to get it in.
Lots of problems that you do not expect with a brand new car at this price point.
