CL Class Flagship or LEMON????

I love driving this car...powerful, sexy looking, unique, quick & precise...but who is MBUSA kidding? Or Mercedes Benz World wide for that matter? I own a 2002 CL 500 with only 52,000 miles that has spent more time in the shop between regular maintenance for breakdowns than all it's sheduled combined. And everytime it goes in , it comes out with another $ 3-5,000.00 estimate or bill.

Purchased April 2005, with 3 year extended MB warranty

Warranty not valid in Canada, paid out of pocket $ 1,700.00

Dec 24th 2006; hands free module short circuit cuts all audio, told no warranty
Jan 12th 2007, MB finally agrees to pay parts
Feb 11th 2007 receive letter that TeleAid will be discontinued due to digital conv.
July 11th, no more TeleAid, $ 1,800.00 quote to convert

Quote: $ 1,800.00 + labor EXCUSE me; 2 hydraulic collapses and repairs in 10 months and they want to charge me AGAIN???????

HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGERS THAT IF I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIRS, I SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING THE CAR??!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

WOULD ANYONE LIKE SOME ICE WITH THEIR LEMONADE?????????????????????????
