The very heavy trunk comes down fast but does not close. Instead the trunk reopens automatically. The problem is one could get hit in the face as the trunk reverses and starts to reopen on its own. Also the trunk could open on its own while driving. That is why this is a real safety haphzard.

Rear trunk latch has mechanical issues. Air suspension damaged with holes.
I was driving my car home from church, while pulling up at walgreens I saw smoke and felt a burn on my skin. . . Look down and there we're smoke coming out my seat through the leather. Turned off the car and it cooled the smoke. . Waited a while and turned car on again but the smoke didn't return. Scared to drive car.
I had to take the vehicle to the shop for repairs at least every 3-5 months since the day I bought it, which was in 2010. Nearly all of the repairs have been under warranty, it only has lessthan 75, 000m. In September of this year while I was driving home from work when the care started staling jerking and shout off. The engine light, esp light and the break light came on. It immediately restarted, the engine light stayed on, while the esp and break light went off. This was a very frighten experience, hoping I won't be hit from behind. I made it to the dealer ship. The car was in the shop for 3wks when I was told that it needed to have a tune up before any other repairs could be done, how this related to the vehicle just stopping in mid drive, is odd. To say the least. 2 days after getting the tune up, it is still in the shop because the engine light is still coming on. I'm feeling uncomfortable about getting behind the wheels again in this vehicle. I expected more out of a mercedes bens with less than 100,000miles.

I don't know.
I drove my 2006 mercedes R350 to work and when I came out for lunch I noticed the car leaning severely to the right. I took the car to have it diagnosed and was told it was the rear air spring suspension. My warrant paid to have the vehicle repaired and the part was replaced. Two months later the vehicle was leaning again. I took the car back and was told it was a part defect and they replaced it at no charge to my warranty company. Just this Saturday, August 3, 2013 I came out from the movies to find my car leaning for the third time. I contacted the warranty company and was informed that it was a 1 year warranted since it was last fixed on September 25,2012 so I took the car back to the shop that fixed it and was told that now its the opposite side of which was fixed but the car is leaning the same position as the last 2 times and now I have to pay out of pocket to get it repaired because my warranty has ended. I have also had problems with the intake manifold something in the engine and the trunk/liftgate latch not closing and sensor not working where the trunk would slam on your head without stopping from the motion. The motion sensors have also been a problem where they would constantly sound off when nothing is in the way. The passenger seat assembly has also been repaired since I've had this vehicle. Something is also going on underneath the vehicle which has caused my front tires to suddenly bald severely without warning.
