Marie writes: I too own a money pit of a Mercedes Benz. The car has been in for work and service more that 16 times in the last 11 months. I have always had the car serviced my Fletcher Jones. I drive a rental car more that mine that costs me more than $800 a month. I am trying to do something to recify tis situation, but am unsure about who or what to persue. Any thought or advise would be appreciated. Sorry for all of your trouble as well. I will NEVER EVER NEVER BUY, OWN, LEASE, OR DRVIE another Mercedes again. It has been the worst and most costly mistake of my life!!!! Alric writes: I purchased a used 2002 G500 on 3/8/03 it has been in for service 6 times for a total of 23 days. Paying for a loaner car (insurance) also adds up while making payments for a car in the shop. I am sick and tired of all the problems. I love the G500 but I am getting to hate it because of all the problems. Chris g writes: Hi - I purchased an 07 G55 in March. Since then, the front left bushing broke; one of the fuse boxes shorted, preventing me from being able to turn the car off!! Once while driving, the car shut down for no reason. On three separate occasions, the ESP shut off while driving, and twice the ABS shut off while driving. Most recently, while driving on the freeway, the front transfer case exploded!!!! SO now I've begun the repurchase process. Unbelievable for a $130,000 car! I'll still get another one, obviously mine was defective. Love the G Jason writes: We have an 04 G500 that has had the transfer Case go out on it 3 times. All three times the truck has left us stranded. The transfer case has also been stuck in a single gear and would not change. The dealership has had to reprogram the computer just so we can drive the truck. We have contacted MB about a repurchase. We are still waiting for them to get back to us, it has been 2 weeks so far. We love the style of the G500 just not the reliability of it. Moon Glade writes: I purchased my 2000 ML 430 brand new. Also, I purchased G-500. G-500 was so bad, I took it back. Since, then I have repaired just about every part of my ML 430. The car is not well made. This car can not stand up to Luxus. I believe, Luxus 470 SUV or even BMW SUV is much better car. I would not purchase another MB. And I do not recommend MB to anyone. Go Toyota or Honda made vehicles.
