How many problems with your car ?

[thebook]

E350 D6 Cab December 2010:

1. Coolant pump problem due to samcat sensor issue
2. Parking sensors going mental beause of samcat sensor
3. Gearbox clunking in between moving from D to R due to software
4. Hesitation on gearbox, big delay on moving off when in R
5. Dash pod rattles like mad
6. Brushed aluminium trim on tonneau cover started to corrode
7. Various roof mechanism sensors & switches failed
8. Wind deflector unbolted itself
9. Not really an issue with the car as such but MB damaged two of my alloys so they're in the process of being repaired

All issues except 5 and 9 fixed, not bad for a brand new car....!

GL350 CDI January 2010:

1. Rusting wheel bolts, replaced twice.
2. Rusting brake calipers, replaced.
3. Corroded roof rails, replaced.

All resolved no further issues.

On point 4 - hesitation when pulling away, try pulling right paddle immediately prior to pulling away (when in auto), you will feel the car engage and it pulls immediately. Very useful when pulling out into traffic or at roundabout - this delay used to drive me mad but all good now...

I rarely have any issues with any of my MB's or any that I have owned.

My C43 has a minor oil cooler leak but that's it.

I forgot about the blue bits coming off my bonnet badge

My car; nothing.

Everything works and there is no rust.

Same for me

My 2009 E coupe:

Passenger seatbelt hander, broken (goes to hand seat belt but one part has snapped off and as such doesn't work properly)
Push button to activate hander - doesn't work (possibly as a result of fault above)
NAV 50 - rubbish (but I guess works, technically)
Parking sensors go haywire when heavy rain
Mercedes Benz badge on bonnet has paint flaking off

That's appalling for a 40k plus car...

Blower motor irregular.

Atf not changed since I don't know.

Wing mirrors and door panels kicked in by previous owner, need tidying/non-halfords mirrors.

Exhaust back box corroding

No fan fowl.

2 blades missing on fan

Missing underguard, other than front cover.

Lcd temp/time displays look like the predator's nuclear bomb countdown timer.

Bonnet latch missing as is lever to activate pop-up, and it isn't able to stay shut without a fight.

That's about it.

Very nice... and not a sign of rust anywhere. I had a close look just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
