There is a faulty display readouts that many of Mercedes Benz clk class from 98-2002 as far as I'm aware; have/are experiencing. It is a problem since you can't see which gear you are in and that could cause a driver error that may lead to an accident. The shifter does have markings for p/n/d, while in d there's only one way to know if you have shifted to 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear and that is on the lcd screen. In addition bad or wrong temperature reading can cause the climate control to overheat or cool the car based on the outside readings. Mercedes benz has poorly designed these clusters; based on a response from vdo siemens. (below is my conversation with them in my attempt to obtain a set of ribbons to fix this issue). I believe that based on my conversation with vdo; Mercedes Benz has designed these clusters knowing how poorly these ribbons are secured and expecting failure in the future and for customers to pay a ridiculous amount of money (over $ 1200) to replace and for labor to fix the units. .
