I WANT TO BRING THIS MATTER TO YOU REGARDING THE MERCEDES BENZ MODEL W210 1997/2002 THEY ARE PRONE TO RUST ON THE DOOR/TRUNKS AND THE FRONT UPPER SPRING MOUNTS.. AS THE SPRING MOUNTS SEPARATED ON MY CAR AND CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING THE SPOT WELDS RUSTED OUT ON A SIX YEAR OLD CAR WITH 47,000 MILES THAT IS GARAGED AND DETAILED WEEKLY I DID A SEARCH AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM MBUSA I CONTACTED MBUSA AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED SINCE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY..BTW EURO MBS HAVE A 10 YEAR RUST WARRANTY AND USA MBS HAVE A 4 YEAR WARRANTY FROM RUST... THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE IT KILLS A DRIVER AND PASSENGERS! *JB

VEHICLE HAS TWO DEFECTS THAT MAY INDIRECT CAUSE INJURY AND ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *PH THE VEHICLE HAS A SUNROOF DIRECTLY OVER THE SHIFTING CONSOLE AND HAS A CONSOLE THAT OPENS TO HOLD LIQUIDS DIRECTLY OVER THE SHIFTING CONSOLE. WHEN THERE WAS LESS THAN ONE MINUTE OF LIGHT RAIN, IT WILL GET DOWN IN THE SHIFTER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNDRIVEABLE AND MUST BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD AND MERCEDES DID NOT COVER MOISTURE DAMAGE WITHIN THE WARRANTY. DURING MODERATE RAIN AND WET (NOT FLOODED) STREETS, AS THE CONSUMER STOPPED THE VEHICLE, THE WINDOWS BEGAN TO GO UP AND DOWN, THE ALARM WENT OFF AND ON, AND THE LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES.
