2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 review from North America
"This give a failure rate of 100% for MB in my experience!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Squeaky noise from the Steering Rack when turning wheels.
General comments?
The 2002 E320 model that I currently own is a second E class that I bought new within the last two years: Both had the same exact problem with their Steering Rack. At around mid 6000 miles, both cars started having loud squeaky noise when turning wheels. The flaw in the steering rack of the Mercedes-Benz E class in the last couple of years models is widespread, but somehow no one seems to be paying attention to this major design and manufacturing engineering flaw.
