2 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2003 Mercedes Benz S600

Failure Date: 12/03/2009

Mercedes benz, s-600 (model 2003), it was very difficult to control the car in the highway and the car almost lost control after it's active body control (abc) light flashed on suddenly in the dashboard and the car body came down grinding against the wheels/tires on 12/03/2009 again after the car's abc system was replaced on 11/19/2009 at mb dealer in edison, NJ. I have reported safety complaints on this car about abc system quality problem (odi number 10294645). The car was sent to mb dealer in edison, NJ for checks at same day and they found that the engine water pump dead and made engine belt broken and abc system at malfunction. I feel the abc quality problem has affected engine water pump's quality. Abc system malfunction is safety consideration. It looks like mb has a incorrect design of engine water pump and abc system for s-600. Please investigate and consider this issue for a new recall. Thank you.

3 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2001 Mercedes Benz S600

Failure Date: 08/01/2009

There is a leak in the oil cooler (engine cooling) of my 2001 Mercedes Benz S600. The car has 79k miles on it. It started dripping oil late last year at about 69k miles and is now pouring out oil profusely. I took it to the dealer and was told that this problem is very common with this car but no recall has been issued for it. To repair the problem will cost at least 6k. The car is totally a lemon and I cannot drive it as I am told the oil leak can damage the engine completely or cause a fire. I am concerned for the safety of my wife and children. I have researched this issue online and was shocked to see the number of complaints about this oil leak problem. Below is a link to just one of the websites where I found several complaints about the same problem. Can someone help? Mercedes Benz needs to be held accountable for this issue. This car needs to be recalled for this problem. . Read more...

The mercedes S600 my2001 has a terrible oil leak caused by the oil cooler. If not watched carefully the oil will leak completely out of the engine very fast. I've heard from many people that they have this same exact problem. It's been quoted around $5k to fix. A recall should be issued.
