Mercedes SLK World Forum - View Single Post - Considering 2005 SLK55 .. Issues/Problems?

steve-p · 12-18-2006

I've had two warranty jobs done already in 6,200 miles. The first one was failure of the SRS system, which was a known problem and therefore not unique. The second one was when the high level brakelight just came apart one day and was sticking out on one side. It needed a replacement light, again the dealer was aware of similar problems. Just recently I've had the occasional ESP/ABS failure warning on starting the car, although it clears in a few seconds. Looks like I might be heading for the third warranty job. While I love the car, and the dealer has been superb in fixing things quickly and without fuss, I could do without the extra visits to the dealer TBH.
