Consumer Description

UPON MECHANICAL INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT SPRING PERCH WAS CORRODED FROM THE INNER FENDER, IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL COLLAPSE. I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERAL E300D OWNERS (96 AND NEWER) HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME ISSUE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE IN CANADA. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO HAVE IT COMPLETED IN THE US SINCE THERE ARE MANY 96 TO 02 300'S ON THE ROAD. *TR
