About 1.3 million Mercedes recalled
|
may I be the first to.... LOL

Oooo...that's got to be expensive... :o
Hopefully they are resolving some of their quality issues, because they aren't doing themselves any favors with the current reliability. |
I'd read about the brake recall, but 1.3m cars... that's gonna take a while to shift :twisted:
Maybe it will teach them to make their cars a bit better in future. Our family and friends have had poor experiences with (not cheap) new mercs recently :roll: |
Not affected thank god. :P
|
I hate to kick someone when they're down...
but... *kick* I couldn't resist. ;) |

Yet another reason why I hate Mercs... good stuff.

:roll: we're talking about millions ofeuros/dollars replacing and upgrading those mercs
it's been always fairly simple, you save 10 cents on an alternator, battery, electronics, ok, you save one, maybe two million $, but then you have to recall after the woes come out and loose 10 times what you saved |
Yes, but Porsche commands a huge premium for its cars compared to what Merc can charge. Much more competition in the lower segments.
|
Wow, talk about expensive. Hopefully this will be the low-point for the company.
Concerning the alternators and batteries, I think in a MB it's especially important to have that reliable electrical supply as so much of the car is operated by electrical motors (as are most luxury cars). |
They deserve that, merc had plenty new models, many engines, but not that good quality,
|
Damn, some of you guys act like girls, just waiting to see MB fail or struggle, so what, it can happen to any carmaker.
:roll: |
Just another damn reason why a car maker should not get to desperate in expanding their line up.
BMW: 1,3,5,6,7,X3,X5,Z Mercedes: A,B,C,CL,CLK,CLS,E,ML,G,SLK,SL,S,SLR |
I disagree. Merc's products are all highly competent. They just need to produce them better, it's not an impossible task. Volume = Economies of scale. Maybe Merc should be using joint ventures & partnerships in a better way ;)
