2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 4Matic review from North America
"Not worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission and Torque Converter Failed at 76,000 miles ($6200 to Fix).
Lug nuts were already rusted (4 Tires screws).
Temperature display and clock display malfunctioned at 77,000 miles ($1200 to Fix).
SRS Sensor Failed at 77,200 miles ($650 to Fix).
General comments?
I do not see how this can can be classified as a luxury car?. I had complained to Mercedes USA and sent them copies of my bills from my dealer for over $8000 that I spent on fixing this car. I had no choice but to fix it so I can hope to sell it again. They sent me a letter stating that they regret that I had such a bad experience. At the same time, at the end of the letter they wrote: "We hope you will enjoy your luxury car". Can you believe it?!!
