Guidance on Filing a Complaint with Mercedes
NameInterest replied to NameInterest's topic in General
I see your point, and I believe I should have returned it to its original place of acquisition. However, when I contacted the individual to return the item, he just instructed me to take it to a local garage (with supporting email documentation) where it would be repaired. Based on the impression I got from him, I believed that they would rectify the issue under warranty, despite it being in a different location. I believe there are several problems with the automobile at now, to the extent that I no longer have a sense of satisfaction when driving it. -
Guidance on Filing a Complaint with Mercedes

The vehicle was delivered to Stratstone Bradford, which is a considerable distance from my location in Manchester. Given that I rely on my automobile for work, I want the earliest available appointment. -
The vehicle was duly procured and acquired in Stratstone Bradford on the 10th of August, 2023. The vehicle was retrieved on August 22, 2023, and I was only given a single key, which corresponded to a 69 plate. While I was driving home, the engine oil lamp illuminated. I immediately reached out to the seller, who informed me that they will consult with the service team on Monday. Subsequently, on the same day, I encountered an additional problem: the driver side window switch is non-functional and damaged, rendering me unable to open any windows since acquiring the vehicle. On August 24, 2023, I got a response instructing me to consult a local garage. However, they were uncertain if the two concerns would be covered under warranty. I find it perplexing that Mercedes does not have a consistent warranty policy across all stores. In my response to the seller, I requested an update on the key. They had previously informed me that they may provide me a second key. However, they advised me to wait for the v5 and acquire a new key instead. It is evident that they have misplaced the key and have no intention of giving a replacement in the future. Based on this, it seems that the seller's primary concern was selling the automobile and they showed little regard for the post-sales experience. On August 9th, 2023, I scheduled an appointment with Stockport Mercedes to have the engine oil inspected and the window switch repaired. The repair for the window switch was provided at no cost, however, the engine oil problem was not resolved and I was required to pay £110 for the diagnostic services. The vendor from whom I purchased the automobile has agreed to provide a refund after I filed a complaint over the car's defects. Subsequently, my automobile was stored in the garage for a duration of 5 days due to the inability to conduct a test drive on the vehicle for the warning light issue. Moreover, I was not provided with a substitute car, which resulted in my inability to get to work, causing significant difficulty. On the following day, after retrieving the vehicle, the engine light reappeared. Consequently, I had to schedule another appointment with Stockport Mercedes to have it examined once again. I was informed that they extracted more oil and assured me that the issue should be resolved. The engine oil light illuminated for the third instance, prompting me to return the car. I endured a wait of more than an hour, during which I was informed that they would provide me with a courtesy vehicle while they conduct an investigation into the matter. Fortunately, I have retrieved my vehicle and the problem has not recurred. However, this issue prevented me from commuting to work on that particular day, which was the primary purpose of seeking the repair. It is evident that the information provided to me by the service provider did not prove accurate. On August 10, 2023, I finally get my v5 document after persistently contacting the vendor. I have made a reservation with Whitefield Mercedes and have sent the invoice to the vendor in order to get a reimbursement. I was informed that I had sent an email to the incorrect department many days later. I re-sent the invoice to the appropriate department by email on the subsequent occasion, and the payment was not completed until one week later. On 29/10/2023, I discovered a malfunction with the headlights not activating while unlocking the vehicle. I promptly scheduled an appointment with Bolton Mercedes on 7th November. Despite providing video evidence of the problem, I was informed that no fault was detected. On October 11th, 2023, a defect was discovered once again, prompting me to contact Bolton Mercedes for another appointment. They have graciously offered me a temporary vehicle while they resolve the problem. I was informed that the problem remained unresolved, however, the light subsequently resumed functioning. On 15/12/2023, a malfunction was discovered with the headlight failing to activate correctly during nighttime driving. The windscreen wipers are experiencing juddering and there is a decrease in the pressure of the windscreen washer fluid. A service appointment was scheduled with Mercedes Warrington. The headlight issue has been resolved, but, the judder wipers and screen wash problem will not be addressed since they are not covered by the warranty. I have previously elucidated that the wipers manufactured by Mercedes malfunctioned a mere month after acquiring the vehicle, and regrettably, I was unable to get a replacement owing to the imposed lockdown restrictions. Despite my explanation that two sets of replacement wipers have been installed and the problem remains unresolved, they are unable to provide a reason for the juddering of my wipers. They said that the screen wash was obstructed and informed me that it was not authentic screenwash, of which I was unaware. I fail to get the correlation between a clogged screen wash pipe and wiper judder. The response I received was that the issue is interconnected, therefore necessitating the replacement of the wipers. I was dissatisfied with this answer since it should not occur on a recently purchased vehicle, especially one that has been driven for less than 3,000 miles in a span of 6 months. In summary, during the course of the last 6 months of automobile ownership, I have encountered a total of 8 problems: Postpone obtaining a V5 Postpone acquiring a replacement key Issue with engine oil when driving Malfunctioning window switch The occurrence of wiper judder compelled me to purchase two new sets of wipers. Loss of pressure in the screen wash system Malfunctioning headlights Headlights and surrounding lights fail to illuminate upon unlocking I have had to bring the car back to the garage on seven occasions within a span of less than six months after I acquired it. The automobile has shown an excessive number of defects, leading me to doubt the reliability and quality of Mercedes vehicles. I have filed a complaint directly with MB UK and am now awaiting their response. However, they have indicated that because I opted for a third-party solution, I had the potential to get a fresh set of Mercedes wipers. Consequently, the outcome of this situation remains uncertain. Could you provide guidance on my complaint and its validity given the many challenges and inconveniences?

These items are manufactured in large quantities and at reduced prices in order to meet the high demand. Due to their lower production cost, these products do have a reduced lifespan. Therefore, it is a matter of obtaining recurring customers. If individuals were willing to invest more on products crafted from superior materials that provide greater durability, some firms would face significant decline in their market performance. I am at the stage of life when my mother purchased a Hoover twin tub washing machine, which remained functional for almost 20 years.Transmitted via successive generations. Currently, it is considered fortunate if you are able to use a single item for a duration of 5 years. It sustains the economy and ensures the continuity of sweatshop operations. In 20 years, modern automobiles will have undergone three cycles of recycling and will no longer be present for admiration.The polymers would have been used to create a 23-foot vibrator. However, there remains no action under your control. You may attempt to assert a warranty claim, similar to Matt.He has to purchase the necessary items and patiently await the outcome. In the meanwhile, he might consider other means of transportation.Will they be liable to compensate for any inconvenience if the product is determined to be defective? I disagree. We all just endure the situation and see it as a learning lesson.

I first thought it resembled a magnetic device used to mitigate interference in wires, but refrained from expressing my opinion to avoid seeming unintelligent. Revision: Regrettably, you expressed the statement after the appropriate time, my friend.

Can you clarify whether this device is only for display purposes or if it also has software such as Android or Apple CarPlay? Do you have any photographs depicting the appearance of the product when it is in operation?

Ultimately, it is only an exhibition, and the most unfavourable aspect is its malfunction. I am concerned with the description they provide on their website. The Carplay Android 11.0 12.3 inch is a high-definition touchscreen GPS navigation system with Bluetooth designed specifically for BMW 6 Series F06 F12 models from 2011 to 2016. Is it tactile?

The OEM display size is 10.25 inches. Am I allowed to substitute with a 12-inch or larger option? Can you suggest any established and dependable Android touchscreens with integrated CarPlay functionality that can be used as a replacement for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) display? I still want to use the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) microphone, back camera, idrive, and steering wheel knobs.
