A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Esp light, instrument cluster fading, acceleration sensor and multiple leaks in the engine, power steering, axel seal, spark plugs valve leaks, oil leaks, trans bell. The car was brought in for an esp light that turns on once the car is in motion, a burning smell that comes through the car. Multiple leaks discovered and the cluster lighting also fades out once the car has been running for a while making the readings unreadable. Benzel and busch generated a diagnostic that discovered many problems with the car. Mbusa was also notified of the concerns with the esp light, the fading of the instruments and the multiple leaks for a car that has less than 55K and has had all proper maintenance done. They refused to consider although other vehicles same year and model had had recalls for some of these items.

After leaving my 2001 clk320 Mercedes at the dealership I was notified that my brake system was defective requiring pads/rotors and other related items along with the fact that every 1000 miles or so, a light bulb or something electrical will fail and I usually find the nearest dealership and get the problem fixed. The brake system (which is not under warranty) was the last straw! we are talking about a 50,000 dollar automobile with only a little over 17,000 miles on it.
