Took vehicle in to have power steering serviced and also asked for an inspection of the vehicle. Upon inspection, tech noticed that rear subframe was rusted badly. Tech found that mount bosses were almost detached and that the subframe was rusted through at the trailing arm locating points. When this issue was found the vehicle was up on a lift. Tech advised that the car was not safe to drive as it was. More information can be provided if necessary.

In the past 10 months the car in question has expereinced one broken suspension coil spring, and a seperate suspension coil spring fracture. I contacted Mercedes about this issue and expressed my concern about the quality of these core suspension components. The response I received amounted to them being sorry that "things fail". I suspect there is a large population of poorly designed/manufactured suspension springs in Mercedes' vehicles on U.S. roads right now and I felt some responsibility to report my experiences.

Front tires wore out on the inside prematurely. Dealer ( keyes merc.) was unable to align the front suspension. I was told that the suspension had dropped, due to gravity, and that they would have to place shims to prop up the front end. Merc customer relations was unable to provide me with a reasonable engineering explanation and unwilling to rectify the situation. The shims were placed and the car still pulls to the right.my main concern is the safety of my family in the event of a suspension failure.
