One problem related to trunk lid has been reported for the 2000 Mercedes Benz S500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2000 S500 is rusting uncontrollably around the bottom of all doors and trunk lid and fenders. I thought buying a $90,000 vehicle would evade these issues. I have tried to contact Mercedes Benz about the issue and have gotten the run around. They suggest spending 5k+ on a new paint-job! they only tell me that they serviced the recall on the rubber stripping on the bottom of all doors. This is embarrassing and I don't know how mb is doing business in this fashion. Ive read several threads about this same issue all around the world. Canada fixes these rust problems for free with no questions asked. Mbusa on the other hand will not responsibly fix the error. This is totally absurd and for a company that is supposed to be all about quality it shows their true colors.
