CR rates them as basically the worst cars next to Land Rover even the new S-class, I never here this from Benz owners.
What do you think about consumer reports surveys about Mercedes-Benz?

I am a true believer of taking care of your cars will last you forever. I drive US build cars. Never failed me. Of course, they is maintenance that has to be performed and I do it ASAP. I listen to the car when some seems to be out of the ordinary and take care of it fast. I have an 03 Impala with over 80,000 on it. I took it to a shop for an oil change, the mechanics can not believe the car is that old with that mileage. I drove a 94 Grand Prix for over 160,000 trouble free miles for about 13 years. My dad bought an 85 Audi 5000S when they came brand new. I was on top of it, once I left the house and went on my own, my dad (a gas and go type person) called me saying the car was messed up. He drove the crap out of it and neglected all maintenance. The car was pretty much beat up.
When someone tells me that Ball Joints has to be replaced, I pretty much know that car has been abused. On my Grand Prix on 13 years of ownership, never replaced a ball joint nor suspension dampers (aka Shocks Absorbers). Is a matter of fact, never had to replace one except the worst car I ever had (Honda Prelude).
What I am trying to say is, some people buy these cars with no money left to even buy a tire. Is all image, the maintenance is neglected (can not afford or just lazy), takes them to cheap garages, do not replace the parts with reliable ones, tinker with the cars or just abuse the crap out of them. When it breaks is MB’s fault. Well that is on any car !
