  Profoundly Dissatisfied - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Tracy - November 19 - 11:40 pm

  This automobile is a mechanical nightmare. I have replaced: two catalytic converters, electric motor in drivers seat (2 times), pressure sensor in the fuel tank, CD changer, one motor mount and now it is having electrical problems with the braking system. However, I love the drive and the styling. Unfortunately, with all the problems the bloom is off of the rose!

  2002 CLK 320 Long Term Review - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By CBP - March 10 - 5:56 pm

  I have owned my CLK 320 coupe for 3 years. The car is now at 39,000 miles. The car started out well when first purchased but is now falling apart. The engine valve rocker arms have been replaced 4 times and are still loud when the car is cold. The front seat track has been replaced as well as both rear seat latches as well as the outside temperature sensor and all of the instrument guages. The tires wore out at 14,000 miles and the ignition wires had to be replaced at 33,000 miles. The undercarriage is now making a loud rattling sound like marbles in a bucket.

  Excellent Drive ....Terrible Reliability - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By catherine nicholas - March 3 - 10:00 am

  On performance I give it very high marks. However, mercedes cuts corners on quality. This is my second CLK. My first was plaqued with problems ranging from engine trouble (random stalling)to window failure. In fact, I couldnt sell it because mercedes couldnt not get the "check engine" light to go out. I was forced to trade it in. My second CLK has had one problem after another ranging from not starting, to seat controls, to air conditioning..the list goes on. The wood grain bleeds into the leather on the doors. Dont order the hands free phone. 50% of the time the car doesnt recognize the phone is plugged in and you are forced to pull over to reset the engine. Bad sound quality also
