Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 MERCEDES BENZ S600. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 76,000 MILES. THE ENGINE OIL COOLER IS LEAKING, AND THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE. THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFAULT. THE LEAKING OIL CAN RUN ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAUSE A SERIOUS FIRE. MBA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
