I have a 2000 CL500 and the ABC signal light just came on and also I cannot engage ABC mode eventhough the red light on the button is lit. The car now has been way too soft and if going downhill, the front skirt will scratch the ground.
And even worse is that the window control buttons on the driver's side failed also at the same time, so the rear window would not fully closed and strong wind noise is evident on freeways.
Is there anyone has taken the ABC for servicing at a shop other than an authorized dealer's place?
sounds like you abc pump has gone belly up. i have seen a couple of them go bad. sorry to say that it is a pretty expensive repair. for your window problem, does anything work on the drivers door? if you find that the closing assist, windows, mirrors etc dont work look for a broken power wire going to the drivers door control module. if you look at the door when its open find the rubber cover that goes from the door to the body. you broken wire should be inside that cover. hope this helps.
I have 2002 CL500 and the EXACT same things have gone wrong all at once, ABC, rear windows and buttons. What ended up being the problem and how much were your repairs?
Picked up the car today, ABC was $3400 to repair, by the time I was halfway home it broke again! also my windows are messed up more than before and turn signals dont work. I have had it with MB and am going to make a formal complaint. I do not want to bring it back to that dealership in fear that they now have some personal thing against me because I complained. Just to state.... I am the most laid back, never raised my voice or said anything that would make them think I was an a$$hole. I have learned in that past that if you are cool with people they will go the extra mile in service which was not the case here.
Wow.........so sorry to hear that. I really do not wish for anyone have to go through that experienced. Mercedes quality is one of the worse I have ever heard !!! I only bought it because of it look. Mercedes designed beautifull car and that is it !!
Hey guys, Im a service advisor at MB... trust me I know you're frustrated but one thing... every car manufacturer has a service dept... why? because all cars have issues with them. "But my friends BMW never did" I can show you hundreds of benz owners that didn't either. I hear all the stories from all the diff owners out there. I even ask around. I just hope no one has a Land Rover or Infiniti Qx I believe it was... they are at the botttttooomm, as far as service and quality
Well, its been about 6 weeks since I got my ABC fixed....twice, and its broken again! Yep the 3rd time! I have only driven about 1000 miles since the repair......ABC = BAD!!!!!! The car feels so fragile now I am afraid to drive it anywhere.
