The second generation Mercedes-Benz M Class is a line of midsize luxury sport utility vehicles produced by the German auto maker from 2005-2011. Mercedes-Benz take great pride in manufacturing vehicles with great attention to detail and high quality materials. Although Mercedes-Benz strives to provide a worry-free product, some Mercedes-Benz owners have issues with their SUVs. Here are a few examples:
Driver’s Side Lock Problems: Some M Class owners report issues with their automatic door locks, specifically with the driver’s side. Both the remote and the manual buttons inside the car cease to function.
Dual Climate Control Problems: Either the driver’s or passenger’s side climate control dials fail to regulate climate temperature after the setting has been left on max.
Transmission Problems: Hard shifting, loud noises on cold starts and jerking sensations while downshifting have been reported by many Mercedes M Class SUV owners.
Backup Camera Issues: The backup cameras on many Mercedes-Benz vehicles will intermittently cease to function, leaving the driver to rely on side and rear view mirrors while backing up.
Faulty Gas Gauge Readings: The gas gauge on some Mercedes-Benz models will give unreliable readings or will change sporadically while the vehicle is in motion.
If your encounter these issues with your Mercedes-Benz M Class SUV, promptly drive it to the nearest Mercedes-Benz service center for evaluation. The friendly technicians will do their best to quickly diagnose the problem and make the associated repairs so that your Mercedes will be running as good as new in no time.
