2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class owner complaints

I just had a very expensive repair done to my 2013 s550; replacing the engine harness, on a car that was looked after like my own child! Oil changes regularly, service a and service b as soon as the light went on, absolutely no reason why this sort of damage should have happened on a perfectly well-maintained vehicle. A repair that set me back $6,800.00 that I did not have at the time. Through friends and colleagues I was told that I should reach out to mb usa regional representative and ask for assistance.

I leased this car new in 2013, since 06/06/2013 this car has been back in shop for same problem 8 times, bubbles on the tires which cuts open the tire at the edge of the wheel. Last month the tire was changed again and while the car was in the shop it developed another bubble on another tire. Now mbusa is saying there is no defect on the car, I am saying wheels and tires come with the car and they are part of the car and that that this car is lemon or defective, I do not feel safe to travel in it. Mbusa dont want to admit it but all the service records are available at koons dealership in catonsville md. In my opinion a fatal accident can happen any time if this car is driven on the road. *tr

This was disclosed to me by another dealer helms brothers. Tires were constantly losing air; front end would vibrate at highway speeds & was constantly in the shop.
