  The Last Days of Mercedes - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Richard E. Savoy - January 28 - 2:03 am

  The E350 is chintzy. It manfiests the dreadful consequences of the abominable decision MB made in the early 1990s consciously to debase the quality of the fine automobiles on whose splendid engineering and construction MBs century-old reputation had been built. Those of us who knew the quality that once epitomized MB can tell the difference with but a moments inpsection. The car has 2 batteries to support needless electronic junk; one battery has already failed. There is a bicycle spare tire. The barely used radio produces an echo sounding like crows cawing in the background. Just touching the "bumper" to a sleeping cat can cost $300. The Mercedes Benz we knew belongs to the ages.

  Bad transmission for 2006 4matic - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By eastsidejl - June 9 - 1:12 am

  My 06 is currently under MB Manufactures warrantee and I have been fighting with MB to replace my faulty transmission. At 28 mph, it skips. MB tells me there is nothing wrong and this is normal performance!!!! I am filing complaints with every agency. I paid an extra $2k for my extended warrantee when I bought my certified used MB and MB will not fix this!!!! I would NEVER buy this car!!!!!
