350 BlueEFFICIENCY Sport 2dr Auto

Main dealers inept, car unreliable.

Mercedes approved dealers inept. Unable to repair basic issues, trying to do things on the cheap & not replace broken parts. Numerous faults on collection from main dealer. For instance, wipers on test drive smearing, Pointed it out to salesman, took 3 visits to fix. They just didn't wamt to spend money on a set of new blades. Not fit to be set loose repairing a scalextric car. Avoid.

Parking brake stuck on, had to be towed away after 3 weeks of ownership.

Torque converter failed in a few weeks, fortunately replaced under warranty

Door mirrors had a mind of their own.

Roof leaked on to front seat.

Leak from oil cooler, in middle of V, over £1,000 to replace. Who puts an oil cooler in the middle of an engine???

Coolant issue, loss of indication, high fuel consumption while u/s. £800

Brake pipes corroded, known problem, £1,000

Air filter design is part of intakes, air filters £75 for parts alone.
