I’m a bit concerned by the fact the “Control Unit” on my 11-month-old 8300-mile coupe crapped out. They were very good about fixing it, though it did take three days, but then the car was meticulously detailed when I picked up. Hopefully this will be an isolated incident, and failures due to quality will be rare. If not I may have to sell it before the warranty expires. I am use to owning a highly reliable vehicle; my 87 Jetta has had no major repairs over its 350000-mile life (the car won’t die, though it has every right to). I’m expecting more from the Benz, lets hope I get it. The next six-month to year will be important as the wife would like a ML350.
