CLS550

  • 45,000 miles
Today, I was informed buy the Mercedes Benz dealer service specialist at intake, at the only dealer in fayetteville N.C. 3203 bragg blvd. When taking the car in for service that the reverse camera for backing up safely, coaxial cable was damaged causing the camera to malfunction due to opening and closing the truck. Apparently, the truck slices the coaxial cable each time you open and close the truck until the cable breaks, stopping the connection of the camera to the viewer. I don't believing this defect in the use of the truck causing the cable to be cut up should be at the consumers expense to fix each time it happens from simply using our trunks. I also have a disability retirement due to injures to my neck and back working as a law enforcement officer, and that back up camera helps to insure safe back ups for people such as myself.
