Mercedes Benz Owners

Exclusive Owners Community

I have owned two Mercedes G500's over the past 2 years. The first one was taken back because I had a flat tire and MB roadside assistance came to fix the flat and when the service tech put the tire back on he forgot to tighten the lug nuts and the tire almost fell off the car while I was driving 75mph. I was stranded an hour away from my home and an hour from where I was going waiting for another MB Road side assistance tech to come check out the problem. As it turned out I only had 2 remaining lug nuts on the car and they were about to fall off too. He moved some lug nuts from other wheels and I was on my way. I took it to the dealership, they replaced the lug nuts and checked the car out and sent me on my way. The next day the car began to shake, so I took it back to the dealer and apparently the rear axle (where the flat tire was) was cracked or bent - I never actually got a straight answer out of the dealer but they told me that it would take roughly 7-8 weeks to repair. I told them the car was unsafe to drive and the repair time was ridiculous. I told them i was considering calling an attorney and they quickly gave me the option of trading in my 1 year old G500 for a new G500 for the same price. I figured I just had a bad experience and signed the lease for the second G500 (which they neglected to tell me was a lease for an additional 3 years in order to keep my payments the same). I got the new car on 2/28/08. Since then the car has been in the shop for 49 days due to flooding on the driver's side (front and back). I picked it up for the second time this past Saturday and today the car is flooded again. If you are having trouble with your G500 don't assume it's just a one time thing with that particular truck!
