2010 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class — reported problems

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (274 records, model years 1999–2013) are most frequently classified under: suspension, electrical system and engine.
• Manufacturer communications (1,000 records, model years 1998–2014) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, engine and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
