Exclamation Mercedes recalls 1.3 million vehicles

This is not too surprising... I guess luxury doesn't equal quality...

Not really...the only company that seems have problems over and over again is Ford.

All companies have recalls, it would be amazing if they could get it right the first time. But this are unpredicatble.

i'll agree with you to a point...when your having recalls regarding giant fireballs *coughfordcoughcough*, then you can start knocking...

I like them E55s those are pretty sick cars. I tried to get my dad to buy one buy instead he got the E320. A few months back my mom was looking to get a car and I was trying to get her to get the AMG version of the SLK because she wants a convertable hardtop, but instead she ordered the slk350, which should be here in about 3 weeks.

I only posted this as information with perhaps a witty comment regarding luxury vehicles. I didn't in any way "knock" on Mercedes...

And as for your info regarding Honda's recall, yes, you are correct, and I am aware of that recall for 652,000 Honda vehicles because of some ignition problem... But if Honda has had so many other recalls that you can remember, then here is a list from NHTSA.gov regarding recent recalls complete with links...

So how many times does Honda's name appear?

yea GM has had a few as well, Like boggie says " Im a fan of the old gm, Where'd they go?"You know what I think has happen is the fact that cars have some many electronic parts that there's just more to go wrong, I had 80 regal. I remember having to do engine work and was simple, I mean ripping it apart and putting back together.Brakes, basically anything. But becuase of the foriegn market invading us with there gas effeicent cars we had to keep up.
