problem #1

Jan 012002

E420 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles
Dashboard cracks on my 1997 Mercedes E420 sedan. Cracks have been apparent for 18 months; dealer and regional service rep decline to replace/repair. Similar cracks have been widely reported in Mercedes E-class sedans in model years 96-00. Cracks are around passenger airbag door. Wonder if this compromises the airbag system in any way?
