Our vehicle has had numerous problems despite maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty. Specifically we've had a number of warranty defects including: - windshield fluid clogging - sunroof motor repair - door locking mechanism failure - battery/engine failure while driving - cracked keys - radio failure - seat adjustment knob falling off (2X) - center console breakage - rear view mirror dimming problems the most disturbing issue to date was the car recently shutting down power while my husband was driving home on a major freeway. He lost power steering and power brakes and had to maneuver the vehicle off the road on the freeway.

Few miles driven and a squeaking noise from under the windshield do not allow to drive with necessary serenity. After 5 intervention on the car finally they solved the problem, replacing 3 times the plastic cover under the windshield, one time completely replaced the windshield. Now that the winter and cold temperatures are back the noise is back again. Unbelievable for a Mercedes-Benz.
