Thanks Ali - I know this is a long shot, but certainly feel that MB should have done something across the board for this problem.
Unfortunately I may just unload the car since the water pump is showing early signs of leakage, as well as the head gasket (again, it was replaced under warranty at 36,000 miles!). Looking through my father-in-laws service records, this car also had a leaking battery, new caster bushings, tie-rods, leaking sunroof, A/C problems, and other minor problems. And this was all before 50,000 miles!
That said, it is a damn nice riding and peppy car, and the body and interior are in great shape. If I can get some coverage on the wiring harness, I would be willing to keep it longer, so if anyone else has any info I could use, please post.
