This is break down who has something to complain about, especially a German sedan ! One of our readers, Sylvie D., had the same thing bad surprise will have to pay 2364 euros for it class A only 89,000 km…
The injectors failed at 89,000 km!
Even if you choose an entry-level model, Mercedes is expensive to drive. One of our readers, Sylvie D. from Saint-Dulchard (age 18) paid a hefty bill when she got the keys to her apartment in the fall of 2015. Class A 200d novelty.
However, she did not imagine that another bill, just as salty, would be waiting for her. only after six years of use!
Although her sedan only had 89,000 km on it, our reader was surprised, during the deceleration phase, metallic noise from the engine compartment. She then promptly pulls over and tows her Class A car to her regular dealership.
Triple disappointment for the owner
The first bit of bad news: it was the injectors that let the spirit out. The second bad news: it costs money 2364 euros replace them!
This breakdown surprises Sylvia, who has always strictly adhered to the maintenance plan. Moreover, his car was undergoing major repairs a few weeks ago and no comments were made to him regarding a possible breakdown.
As the saying goes, “never two makes three,” Sylvie gets more bad news when the manufacturer responds to her support request.
According to the latter, this Class A was guaranteed until September 2017, which precludes any possibility of participation. Disappointed, but at the same time fighting, Sylvie has no intention of stopping there.
Our defense strategy
Mercedes often assumes that its liability does not extend beyond the contractual warranty agreement, which is two years. However, when an early breakdown occurs, it is normal for a star brand to cover all or part of the repair costs after the warranty expires.
The scale of our experts indicates that there is a resource of nozzles 8 years/200,000 km. Given her age and A-class mileage, Sylvie should requires a refund of 40%.
