2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class review from North America
"It is no longer the Mercedes we all believed in.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering Wheel got locked, I could only drive straight (...to cementery)
Windows didn't go up.
Expensive gas... $27.00 every four days in Texas!!!
Got new brakes before 1 year old.
Got new tires @ 1.5 after bought.
General comments?
Don't buy this car!!! it is seriously dangerous... thanks god when the steering wheel got locked I was driving in a parking garage, driving less than 10 miles/hr and was by myself.
In the beginning I believed in the tradition of driving a Mercedes, the cars my parents drove when I was a child, now thinking of the exposure that my kids had while I was driving this car, makes me feel pretty bad.
