The site is by the organization that was Mercedes's dealer for ~13 years. I think that's more than enough credibility they're going to need to make such accusations. In my opinion, they aren't biased, because they provide supporting documents for every statement they make. >I've owned 3 in the past Unless you really know what's under the hood of your car, owning 'x' cars doesn't matter. Because this issue's seriousness can be understood only by someone who knows whats under the hood, which is exactly the opposite of Mercedes' target audience (They're more into luxury stuff, I believe). Just curious - Do you know the seriousness of having a clutch assembly sticking to the floor? (Could cause fire, serious damage, deaths)

So you are saying that, once again, as proof that MB is a "shady company" you supply a website from a single party that posts a reply that they claim is from MB but doesn't even appear on the MB letterhead? (Not of course that that couldn't be faked but it seems odd that they don't even have a LH for that letter as part of their "proof". "Do you know the seriousness of having a clutch assembly sticking to the floor?" I don't have time to investigate this claim. Suffice to say that you have not provided proof of "shady" practices that have triggered any significant problems, at least in the US, with their sales or production. Cars frequently have recalls and manufacturers is US, most manufacturers will take steps to downplay the recall. There have been exceptions of course (See Ralph Nader or see the report on Audi by 60 minutes). Perhaps MB in India does not operate the same as MB in the US or the rest of the world. But then again the power grid in India also operates at lesser standards than in the US (from what I've read and what I've been told). So to conclude, you statement, that they are a "shady" company has not been supported.
