CLS500

  • 51,000 miles
Our vehicle has had numerous problems despite maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty. Specifically we've had a number of warranty defects including: - windshield fluid clogging - sunroof motor repair - door locking mechanism failure - battery/engine failure while driving - cracked keys - radio failure - seat adjustment knob falling off (2X) - center console breakage - rear view mirror dimming problems the most disturbing issue to date was the car recently shutting down power while my husband was driving home on a major freeway. He lost power steering and power brakes and had to maneuver the vehicle off the road on the freeway.
