2006 mercedes-benz S-Class reviews

Mercedes-Benz S-Class s500l 2006

Do not buy a Mercedes S Class. Purchased my car from an approved dealer, within a month there was water ingress in the passenger footwell causing all the heater controls to blow. Water ingress is not usually covered by warranty and it had been caused by leaves building up in the drainage channels at the base of the screen. a common problem with Mercedes cars. A few months later the car almost killed me when all the electrical circuits failed while driving down a hill. As the gear selector and handbrake is electronic there is no way of putting the handbrake on or placing the car in park. I sat on the hill for twenty minutes before the car eventually started. The car is only three months out of warranty and guess what, Mercedes are charging me for diagnostics. They have had the car for three weeks and still are unable to diagnose what is causing the problem. This potentially lethal design flaw could cause serious harm or injury. Will be going to Audi or BMW instead.
