"do not recommend to anyone"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Window switch went bad

Continuously goes to Limp Mode especially in cold weather

Sunroof trim panel rattles over bumps

Interior Trim cover over rear light on liftgate falls off

buzzing noise coming from the IP. Louder in cold weather

Blower is loud

knocking noise from differential or transfer case when the steering wheel is positioned fully right or left

Flip Key in Key FOB easily gets loose

headlamp clear coat is chipping. makes lens look yellow

exhaust bracket bolt loosened and came off causing rattle noise

interior trim on liftgate is very loose. all the plastic fasteners are coming off or is loosening. very big gaps.

rear seats fold down is difficult to use efforts are high even after lubricating the joints.

front seat warmers take a long time to warm up.

General comments?

Exterior styling is nice

Interior trim is very very very very cheap looking. Not up to earlier MB standards. Too much plastic

Driver seat is comfortable

Acceleration for V6 is satisfactory

Breaking is satisfactory

Cornering is satisfactory.

I would love to know the reason the engine goes into Limp mode. Have the same problem with mine.

Replaced dash board light at dealer $500!!! No kidding.

Goes through a quart of oil every 500 miles. 125,000 miles on the car now; dealer cannot explain, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
