| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This vehicle is under a federal recall for the catalytic converter. according to a service technician, this part is on back order and the dealer and manufacturer have been out of stock of the part for more than a month. no one can seem to give me and other owners a delivery date on the part. meanwhile, i am driving a vehicle that sounds like a harley davidson motorcycle and like it is about to fall apart! i have been experiencing this problem for more than a month and it gets worse every week that i continue to drive it. i cannot afford to park my vehicle at the dealer as other owners of ml320s have done. how can a federal recall be issued and the dealer/manufacturer not be prepared? *jb |
