While my wife was driving the S500L last Wed she heard a noise and the steering went stiffer than normal.
The display came up with Malfunction and as she was pulling in the ABS light came on and the computer reported anothe Malfunction.
Rang MB Manchester who told her as it was still under warranty she should call MB Helpline direct. She did and was told somebody would be with her within 90 minutes.
About an hour later chap turns up with recovery wagon and starts to load car. He says he couldn't bring a courtesy car with him because they didn't have any available but on ewill be along shortly.
An hour later 2 nice chaps from Enterprise Car Rental turn up with a new E class. They say as we have an S class they apologise and say they will search for one and let us have an S class asap.
We don't think they will really, thought they were just saying that, but next day they ring and arrange to come round and exchange the E for a new S class.
This is the first problem we have had with the S and we are very impressed with the service from DaimlerChrysler UK and MB Manchester.
They are on a par with the Lexus dealership we used previously.
After reading some of the horror stories about dealers on here this seems to be a nice change.
We haven't got our car back yet, probably tomorrow so will update if we have to rethink our opinion.
Hurrah for MB
