    I purchased an SLK 230 on 5/00 and 40 days later, the fuse for controls died and the car over heated. They had to order the part from Germany and I was without a car for two weeks. The interior leather in the center console started peeling 2 months after I bought it. I made them fix it, but they sent it to some cheap place because it kept peeling again until I took it to a more reputable shop again 6 months later and now it's fine.
    After that the coolant light came on 3 times, the third time, there was an oversight in the mechanics handling (they forgot to the let the bubbles out) and the light came on again; I should have considered that the third element to meet the requirements, but I let it go. The coolant light has come on numerous times ever since. I took it in a month ago to the Smythe Dealership in San Jose, and they said they looked at it. But the light came on again immediately after I took the car back.
    3 weeks ago, the O2 sensor died and I had to have that replaced. Yesterday, I found out something is wrong with the exhaust because my car suddenly sounds like a motorcycle. I can't drive it and have to take it in today.

    The warranty ran out on it 10k miles ago, so I have to pay out of pocket for all these expenses. I have to take my car in and that means losing time from work. I have no peace when I drive my car because I keep thinking something is going to go wrong with it. I drive my car with care. I treat it with car because I worked hard to purchase it. I only use premium unleaded. I have all the service agreements/paper work for every time I have taken my car in - which amounts to every other or two months ever since I purchased it.
