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?!!
Yes, I can believe it. Mercedes currently has worse reliability ratings than Ford or GM, and so does BMW. Sorry you got stuck.
