A superb vehicle spoilt by niggling computer/electrical/sensor faults

When it is working as it should it is everything anyone could wish to own.

However the niggling faults such as replacement computer for auto box SRS warning sensors activating sporadically and failed aircon do little for the promoted Mercedes image and supposed standards of quality.

I am fortunate that I have a good Merc dealer and an extended warranty but not all expenditure is covered and the labour rates are now approaching the unrealistic which is probably why the number of independent Merc specialists is increasing

I have owned Mercedes for over 20 years but now the time is coming to replace this one my decision is no longer as automatic as it was before I owned this vehicle .
These levels of inconsistency and unreliability do not have to be tolerated in the 21st Century
