Defective coolant pump
"Car can’t get me from A to B": Mercedes customers after a mega recall to 180
dpa/Mohssen Assanoghaddam/dpa Numerous Mercedes-Benz vehicles are on the former Ahorn airfield on a runway (symbol image). Daimler has to call back several hundred thousand diesel vehicles.
Mercedes has to call back numerous cars again. Customers are increasingly annoying, reports the specialist portal of the car-rukcover calls.de. Many are at a loss because of the formulations in the recall letter.
The Mercedes recall "2090008" due to the coolant pump in the diesel engines OM 654 and 656, which has now been haunted twice through the media landscape. The reason is a wording in the customer letter that asks for patience in the troubleshooting, because the necessary parts are not yet available. Because, according to Mercedes, the vehicle should "be driven particularly carefully and the use to the minimum" should be limited to the minimum ".

Mercedes holder brings the callback letter to the palm
The recall notification brings some owners to the palm. “What does Mercedes mean by the necessary minimum? What does Mercedes understand by careful driving? Not faster than 80 km/h? My impression is now that when buying a Mercedes, legal protection insurance must be taken out, ”one is realized. A trade customer draws the following conclusion: “So here I have a leasing vehicle that no longer corresponds to the performance owed. It continues to look good, but no longer fulfills its main purpose that it can technically bring me from A to B.

No replacement car?
For a premium brand like Mercedes, some customers express the expectation of receiving a replacement car until the repair. "Should Mercedes please provide me with a vehicle at least the same class until the repair free of charge for full use, then I will be happy to leave my own vehicle in the garage until you repair". Others flee in terms of terms such as "prudent" in the gallows humor: "Aha, the problem is obviously outside the car, so I should always look around …".Incidentally, another forist indicates a bigger problem with the engines mentioned, which is not remedied by the call back. He posts a detailed description of the error.

Mercedes
Mercedes has one big recall after the other. Perhaps one or the other Mercedes driver should slowly consider switching to a Tesla. Mercedes does not seem to have mechanics or software under control. Tesla can do the world with the software better. OTA also happens to the software update without a visit to the workshop. This is how service works today.
@ Joerg Malowicz
When I read US specialist magazines, Tesla regularly gets the "Golden lemon". So why should I change? Just because it is currently cool to drive Tesla, own iPhone and wear sneakers. I prefer to stay with Mercedes, Samsung and Birkenstock.
I wonder what for the exchange of some
a software update should also be made? I had something like that at my last Mercedes, and after that there were gearbox problems when switching automatically. Of course, Mercedes did not agree and strictly rejected the shoe, the update had nothing to do with the gearbox problems. After a year and a half I resigned and sold the cart.
Silent actions!!!
In IT we call software with many mistakes and updates: "banana software" matures with the customer … But the manufacturers get the purchase price in advance … I worked as an IT consultant for the warranty programs for a long time in the automotive industry and know the problems … especially about quantity! A lot of car owners do not even know about the quiet recall, i.e. all actions that are simply carried out during the next workshop visit because there is no immediate danger! So the supposedly so high -quality vehicle also matures with the customer!!!
I agree !
In the past, Mercedes (and Volvo) were a role model for other manufacturers in terms of security, durability and reliability. These times are long over, both companies have subsided in quality, but the competition improved at the same time. The price segment remained upper class…… (I once had a 190s, that was still a good vehicle)
Just leave the church in the village
The problem should be resolved in February at the latest. If you still cannot wait, you drive to your dealer, let the water be checked within 30 minutes. If nothing is found, you can continue until repair without hesitation. If water is found, the relevant component is replaced immediately, the software update will then be carried out at a later date. But as always in life, one addiction to problems, the other for solutions.
My goodness
What an artificial excitement. And so typical in the Internet age in which only is whined. How many engines have had serious problems so far ? Simply drive on normally. Most have been driving these engines for years and the likelihood of "suffering" this damage in the next few weeks is negligible. There is again on the media, especially by many in the community, on principle and exaggerated. It is slowly not to endure.
And when you
continue to drive normally and get a problem, what does Mercedes do then? They warned them, so they stay at the expense. The letter is written by lawyers who thus deport all responsibilities to the owner.
Depasters or carelessness
Mercedes (or FO) Write: Because, according to Mercedes, the vehicle should "be driven particularly carefully and the use to the minimum" should be limited to the minimum ". Find the mistake.
And again a media storm in the water glass…
If someone really believes here, not all owners of the affected vehicles would immediately ask the vehicle to not move the vehicle if there was seriously a risk of people’s well -being? Such a nonsense! Complaint: loss of performance, engine control lamp shows errors. and? You have installed a poor part which you would like to replace free of charge. I don’t know any manufacturer that has not yet happened. With the amount of vehicles concerned and because spare parts are currently difficult or not available, it should be clear to everyone that such an action will take months. So continue "careful" Drive, and should take the engine control lamp or lose performance as before driving to Mercedes as before.
Mercedes can only hope
to be taken over by the Chinese and become a subsidiary of NIO or Geely. While the technological lead (which actually existed once) disappeared, the costs at the Germany location are no longer possible to get under control. At BMW it looks similar. VW will probably go from Opel, so slowly shrink. I’m curious to see when the Chinese start to seriously push the European market as they have successfully made it in electronics and other consumer goods. It’s only a matter of time.
It is not that easy
Apart from the fact that a Chinese is already a relay. high proportion of DB shares/stature. If you have to be able to sell the vehicles in D. Mostly through financing, up to 10.000 special cases. So that the circle closes, you should also have a couple "German" Take over banks. But whether D will be an interesting sales market in the future … at, u.A.,The tax load..
Replacement vehicle failed
As a affected person with an S-Class, I was handled by a call center from Maastricht/Holland. My demand for a replacement vehicle was carried out by the authors of the "Call recall" not even commented. Those responsible probably all went to the diving station and. Push their call center agents to the front. How pitiful, the once proud car brand Mercedes.
