E-430 6-cyl

2001 Benz E320 wheel bearings failed. ***** the consumer noticed a scraping noise coming from the front passengers side of the vehicle. The noise became progressively worse until the vehicle became undrivable. The consumer also noticed that the vehicle was pulling to the right. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who indicated that the vehicle needed new bearings on both front wheels and a new left spindle, rotor and brake pads. The dealer has replaced the instrument cluster (3 times), fuel level sensor, oil level sensor, A/C control and regulators ( 3 times), steering lock and key, right headlight assembly, both catalytic converters and the right rear window regulator. All these repairs were covered under warranty.
