Most common problem with Mercedes-Benz?
- Thurst Link and Control Arm Bushings
They are fluid-filled and have a tendency to crack open when old. Not only is this bad because the suspension won’t be functioning properly, but it can also make a bit of a mess.

- Rust
While this is certainly not all Mercedes models it affects enough of the older ones to make it worth mentioning. Mainly from the 90s and early 00s many of the models were prone to rust in high wear areas.
- Air Suspension Problems
Post-2000 Mercedes started using air suspension in some models and this was later rolled out to a lot more. While the system certainly gives a very high-quality ride it isn’t without problems.
- Catalyst Converter, Automatic Gearbox issues, and many others.
