| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving at approximately 40 mph and the frame just dropped. the drive felt like i had all flat tires. if i was traveling at an increased speed, i would have crashed. later i was informed that the spring perch rusted from the inside-out. this is a common problem with 1997 e320 mercedes and no one will issue a recall until a family dies. the dealership transferred my car to the body repair shop and paid half of the cost. someone needs to make an executive decision and issue a recall.*jb |
