problem #1

Apr 182008

S430 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,300 miles
No incident. Was driving and as I pulled into my driveway, heard bumping sound from car. Asked Mercedes what it was, they said loose baffle in gas tank. Sounds like manufacturing defect. Checked online and found many others with same problem. It is a costly repair just outside of warranty period.
