What has happened to Mercedes Benz? - 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By Disappointed-One - September 14 - 2:00 amWe purchased this vehicle in 2003 with 19,000 miles with the intention of keeping it for 10 years. It was in the Mercedes certified used car program. In the 8 months we owned the vehicle, it was in the shop 5 times for a wide variety of reasons, including a failed instrument cluster, windshield washer tank failure, numerous electrical issues and repeated "Check Engine" alerts. I cannot express how disappointed we have been with this Mercedes-Benz. This was the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Buyers beware -- this is not your fathers Mercedes; its a disgustingly expensive vehicle that does not live up to the Mercedes brand and reputation.

They Call it Misery - 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By Benz Boy - October 6 - 1:00 pmBeautiful car in design. Thats where the enjoyment ceases. This car is like a beautiful woman with a bad personality and poor morals. Great to look at, but once you touch it your wallet and health go south. Mercedes knew this car was a piece of trash when they built it. My car has 64,548 miles and it has managed to go through two A/C systems, CD player, window electrical problems, brakes, transmission replacement and so forth. Its fun to drive when it finally runs, but its best to keep a good wrecker service on call at all times. Mercedes lied to their customer base and myself about this car. I will never drive another one unless its a vintage 560 sel or 560 sl.

Mercedes Does Not Mean Quality - 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By Richard Bailey - January 15 - 11:33 amPurchased my 2000 S430 as a pre-owned. It had 56,000 miles on it, and the rack & pinion had to be replaced. It also has a high rear-end gear noise between 50 and 60MPH. The driver side sun visor no longer stays in place, and I had to tape it to the roof. There is rear vibration between 60 and 80MPH, though it has new Continental tires balanced by the Mercedes dealer. An A/C sensor failed at 57,000 miles, which caused the unit to freeze up. The CD player has started locking up, though it has been cleaned.

I wont buy another one - 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By wcw - January 4 - 5:26 pmMy 2000 Mercedes-Benz S500 has been a huge disappointment. In May 2000 I experienced many problems with it, at only 7,468 miles. Again on 8/26/2000 I experienced multitude of problems, at 11,114 miles. And again on 9/2001 at 19,492 miles. On 10/18/02 at 28,231 miles I had to pay $376 in addition to warranty covered items. On 3/03 I experienced more problems, including a defective "adc." In 2004 the electric seat became inoperative and left front door control module replaced to a tune of $980. On 11/13/04 I had to get a new air suspension pump for $500. This cars fuel gauge is still inoperative, I have not fixed it yet. Ill measure it with a stick rather than pay for a new one. This is my second and final Mercedes. Its hard to believe you can pay $90,000 for a car you only drive 8,000 miles/year and be faced with this lemon.

Poor delivery, poor dealership - 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By ad wood - July 6 - 10:46 amMaintenence expense for this car exceeded $10,000 in the first two years. The quality was a disgrace. Major components had to be replaced. Finally found an independent machanic who virtually rebuilt it for us. Now it is a great car. Mercedes should be ashamed of the quality of this car.
