Laundry list of failures. Jack has almost killed me while changing tire. Vehicle fell, almost hitting me but catching side of vehicle before landing on me! hood latch has failed on a few occasions, causing hood to open while vehicle was in motion. Air mass meter failed. Has required 5 (five!) alignments in two years. When brought to dealer's attention, was told nothing was wrong. A month later requires another alignment. Alignment problems causes wear on tires, which has caused hydroplaning and loss of control of vehicle. Vehicle swerves uncontrollably when hits anything other than flat road. Transfer case motor fixed by dealer without consulting. After repair, transfer case motor failed. Dealer states owner responsible for costs. Has had repair of harmonic balancer on front of engine due to excessive heat buildup leading to oil leak and failure of belt tensioner. Window switches have failed twice and fixed at expense of owner. Six different keys have failed @ the cost of $220/key. Rear window defroster causes loss of stereo reception. Rear window wiper motor has failed. Front end makes noise.

On 04/24/02 my car started stalling out and not starting. It was towed to the nearest dealership. The fuel pump, fuel line, and fuel filter were repaired by 04/25/02. A terrible fuel smell took over the car and I returned it on 04/26/02. It was repaired and returned to me on 4/30/02. It started breaking down again on 05/05/02 and I took it in on 05/06/02. They had it for 10 days (until 05/16/02) and it broke down out of town on 05/25/02 where it remained for 21 days (until 06//15/02). It then broke down on the drive home (05/15/02)and I took it to the shop two days later (05/17/02, dealership closed). All of the problems are directly related to the fuel injectors, fuel pump and the entire system related to this but I have a 2 year old unreliable Mercedes Benz I am now paying to repair. I have contacted Mercedes Benz USA and they have been supportive of the service departments' repairs but I believe I have a car I can't sell, trade in or drive now and I paid $38,000. For it a year ago. Please instruct me on the best plan of action at this point.

As told by the Mercedes Benz company, the fuel line and fuel filter on this particualer model, are much too small to ensure adequate fuel to the engine while driving. Dealership refused to change the line and filter while under warranty claiming it would be changed at the 60,000 mile service check up at owners expense.
