Structure problem #1

2000 Mercedes Benz sl 500 had the hood liners replaced three times in 5 years. The first hood liner became brittle and disintegrated. The second hood liner became powdery and literally fell apart less than 2 years after installation. The consumer was told the head liner was considered wear and tear.

Body problem #2

My 2000 Mercedes Benz s500 is rusting from underneath the paint. There are several places where the car is rusting. Mercedes, at the corporate level, pretends they are unaware of the problem. However, at the dealership level, they openly admit to this problem and tell me that I am out of luck. I have seen several cars with this problem and mercedes has done nothing to correct this problem to people who have bought their 100,000 flagship luxury sedan.
