2006 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 87 evidence records for the 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
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 (738 records, model years 1995–2023) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, brakes and suspension.
- Safety recalls (89 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, air bags (restraint system) and equipment & accessories.
- Transport Canada recalls (58 records, model years 1997–2024) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, fuel system and air bags (restraint system).
- Manufacturer communications (2,543 records, model years 1995–2026) 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
