[QUOTE="chad, post: 497933, member: 19132"] I had the same with a Mercedes A140. At 3 years old, with about 15k on the clock, the Mercedes garage, where we'd taken it for a service, refused to let my wife take it away as it was dangerous. She was told that there was a problem with the rear suspension and the brakes. The best part of £1k later we got it back. This set the scene until we got rid of it - it used to get through front brake callipers every year and there was always something even more expensive like throttle bodies to replace. We thought that we were buying a 'quality' car....... The irony is that it replaced a Fiat Punto which was virtually fault free over 8 years and was cheap to service. [/QUOTE]
