Hi all,
I'm just after a bit of advice on which way to go with this as I'm slowly loosing the will.
My car, 2018 model CLA220d is currently at Mercedes due to a couple of issues but they are telling me they cant find any problems with it.
I put the car in under warranty due to the following -
1 - Most of the time from a standing start the engine will die before picking up again, a bit hairy sometimes, especially when it does it pulling onto a busy roundabout. There's other times, but not many that it will try and snap your neck.
2 - In crawling traffic the car is difficult to control, i.e. to keep at a constant speed, sometimes it feels like its holding back, sometimes it feels like its pulling forward. Engine revs fluctuate up and down
3 - Intermittent - On a few occasions when putting the car into park I have heard what I think is a mechanical grind from the gearbox, put it back into drive and then back into park and it goes
4 - Intermittent - When driving at around 60 on the motorway, when I put my foot down to overtake the car had kicked down a gear but the gearbox shudders until I take my foot off the accelerator, I would describe that it feels like clutch shudder in a manual car.
OK, so the scenario with Mercedes,
I dropped the car off at 8am on Monday, the car went into the workshop at around 1.15 and came back out around 1.45 and went on a 5 mile drive. The car war then in their car park until Tuesday afternoon when I got a call to tell me there was nothing wrong. After a bit of disagreement I gave them authorization for one of their guys to use that night, he drove it 5 miles home and 5 miles back the next morning, parked it in their car park until I received a phone call at 4.30 to tell me they cant find a problem, after another disagreement the same thing yesterday. The cars been back in their car park since 8 this morning but haven't had a call yet.
I suppose my question is, after all this, where do I stand as i know the car has issues but Mercedes say it hasn't, I suppose because its not throwing up any fault codes.
Cheers, Kev.
