The transmission has repeatedly locked in 2nd gear. The electrical system shows constant light, coolant and air bag failures. The memory for seats, mirrors and the steering wheel defaults about 30% of the time. I bought this car through M-B diplomatic sales program while serving in Canada and brought it to the usa on retirement. M-B Canada won't help because the car is in the us. M-B usa won't help because I bought the car in Canada. M-B corporate in germany simply referred my case back to M-B usa. I am now out of warranty. I want M-B to extend the warranty another 4 years or 50K miles. The car is a disaster.
