2011 Mercedes-Benz S550Visitor, Atlanta, GA, January 10, 2011 18:17I love this car and am very happy I bought it BUT I am concerned. 1 - The clutch pads may have a problem (transmission "kicks" in low gear up a hill) and 2 - the exhaust seems loud. I have less that 1,000 miles on the car so I'll take some responsibility for learning how to drive this car but I am concerned. This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned and I love the creature features. Coming from a Lexus history (I hate the LS 460 so I changed to MB), that is hard to admit. I heard a lot of people complain about MBrace but it has been working like a dream for me (email my car directions from Google maps is so cool!).Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2010 Mercedes-Benz S550Visitor, Birmingham, AL, June 05, 2010 21:242010 Mercedes-Benz S-550 with less than 3000 mi the solid torque strut brushings had to be replaced with hydraulic ones. My car has been in the shop 3 times with less than 5000 miles and the vibration still exist. Mercedes knew the problem existed with no solution yet have not disclosed the problem the public or some of their employees. My car is not worth $100,000 with the existing problem and no resolution. I fear for my safety and everyone in and around my 2010 Mercedes S-550.Flag ThisLike0

2007 Mercedes-Benz S550Whispering Butterfly, Durham, NC, December 17, 2008 16:00I found the information RepairPal provided in the common problems section to be helpful and very timely. The common problems around the drivetrain is what I was experiencing and I've been given an estimate of approximately 9k to replace transmission and many other items. Please know an independent certified MB technician found this problem NOT the MB dealership!!! I ask how can a transmission have to be replaced in 2008 for a 2007 100k+ car? Let's see if MB will own up to this being a faulty transmission!
