“My transmission began leaking fluid with 22,000 miles on it and now the transfer case needs to be replaced because it is leaking transmission fluid. I was driving up a hill and my SUV felt like it was skipping gears. The next day I noticed red liquid on the garage floor. It was towed to mercedes service department in hoover and supposedly fix. However, the transfer case is still leaking.”

When I called they said your parts have been ordered we will call you when they arrive. No call. A year later same thing. Call the dealership immediately to replace your air bags it is very dangerous to not have them replaced. Called only to be told.... The part has not arrived yet. Now it has been over 3 years and they say..... The part is on back order!!! Mercedes of orlando (maitland) spoke with lynn. …”
