Not only does it leak but the vapors are spread throughout the cabin making it unbearable to breath. I took the car in to mercedes and they don't wanna own up to there faulty equipment.

Unknown or Other · reported Jun 9, 2016

My s550e trunk can remain unlocked and sometimes refuse to lock - resulting in compromising the security of the vehicle. There is something wrong in the state machine to lock the trunk. If the vehicle is in a locked state and the remote is used to lock the truck - it fails to do so.

Tires · reported Jul 6, 2014

Replaced all tires when all had severe tread wear and two had side wall blisters at 23,000 miles. I received an adjustment for the replacement. With about 1,000 miles on the new tires the passenger front tire developed a large sidewall blister.
