The contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact's neighbor later informed the contact that the rear driver's side tire was flat.

The glued seam on the convertible top has come unglued above the back window. The car has been garage kept and only has 66,000 miles. When riding down the road, I am afraid the top may continue to peel back and try to come loose. This isn't only a safety concern, it is a security concern, and protection from weather. It seems to be a known issue in the Mercedes forums.

IT SMELLS SO BAD I HAVE LEAVE THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN SOMETIMES SO THAT MY HOUSE DOES NOT CATCH FIRE ALONG THE VEHICLE. SEARCHED ONLINE A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT.

VEHICLE WOULD BE STOCK ON 1ST OR 3RD GEAR WITHOUT ANY ERROR CODE ENGINE LIGHT OR TRANSMISSION LIGHT ON. THAT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME. ON TAKE OFF AT RED LIGHT OR CRUISING ON 5TH 6TH OR 7TH SHIFT. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH NO MECHANICAL ISSUES. I AM GUESSING IT IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC OR HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS UNINTENTIONALLY. A RESTART OF VEHICLE FIXES THE ISSUE.
