"Would you believe it if you received a letter from
Mercedes Benz informing you that you had won a lucky draw
and your gift was a “FREE INSPECTION!!” but in actual fact
they intended to replace your turbocharger without
informing you? These and many more shocking practices were
carried out in absolute arrogance and with a view to keep
the third rate quality of Mercedes Benz Cars a secret."[0]
>My personal suspicion goes way beyond VW in this case.
You're right. Automotive companies are pretty notorious for these kinds of things.

- macjohnmcc 11y agoMy wife has a 2002 Mercedes vehicle. It has 82000 miles on it now but fewer than 65000 miles when it needed $5,000 worth of work to replace a stretched timing belt. Something that should never be a problem but especially on a low mileage vehicle that was driven gently. Her driver side seat heater also started to short, a known issue, never recalled. I consider Mercedes to be overpriced garbage.
- jacquesm 11y agoThat site does not exactly instill confidence (and I don't mean in Mercedes). Now, 'don't shoot the messenger' is good practice and it is easy to slide into an ad-hominem attack on that website when not intending to but the language ('the shocking truth about 'x''), claims that the evil media are ingoring them and such make me feel that there is a bit of an agenda at work here. I also wonder why you post this anonymously, it's just another link.
