Had some troubles with my '04 S500, man. The cooling system can be a real pain, always dealing with the thermostat. Tried fixing it myself, but no dice. The transmission sometimes acts up, especially when switching gears. Have you heard anything about the spark plugs? Mine died on me last summer. Have you ever had to replace those? Also, electronics glitch up at random times. Has anyone figured out why?
But anyway, worth the ride though! You just gotta deal with those quirks. Anyone else experienced the same issues?
I’ve got a few stories about the 2004 S500 in Canada. A buddy of mine’s had serious electrical issues—blinking lights, no radio. Suspension gave out too. Us drivers gotta watch out for those!
I’ve had ups and downs with my 2004 Mercedes S500 in Toronto. The tranny seems sketchy, shifting gets weird mid-drive. Friends say the A/C’s hit or miss—worked great at my buddy’s place in Seattle though. Oil leaks were a pain too; replaced seals and all, still had some. But the ride is buttery smooth and that engine purr? Legendary. Just gotta deal with some quirks, but it’s worth it!
Back in '05, I had an '04 Mercedes S500 in Ontario, Canada. It was a beast, but man, did I have trouble with the Servotronic steering. It was finicky, made left turns feel like they were gearing up to take off! Also, the engine oil pressure warning light would pop up like a jerk, even when everything seemed fine. Checked with the dealer, they basically shrugged. Guess every high-end ride’s got its quirks. Anyone else had the same stuff happen?
Ever owned a 2004 Mercedes S500 in the US? I have and let me tell ya, electrical gremlins, gear linkage headaches, and fluid leaks were a pain in the ass. Keeps me guessing what’ll break next on my daily commute. Bummer, right?
I’ve got a 2004 Mercedes S500 in Canada, and the engine has been a real headache—timing belt issues downtown like crazy. Plus, the electronics tend to go haywire after a while. Anyone else find it vibing but not performing? Heard suspension probs are no joke too.
I’ve had my 2004 Mercedes S500 in the States, and electrical problems pop up a lot. The A/C cuts out too — total nuisance! Had to replace some parts already. Anyone else with gremlins?
I’ve had some issues with my 2004 Mercedes S500 here in Vancouver. The turbo usually acts up, especially in colder temps, and it’s a real pain to fix, ya know? Cabin air and the climate control are super unpredictable, could either be too hot or too cold even when set to default. A pal had coolant leaks too, needed a couple interventions. Overall though, it’s still a sweet ride, if you keep up with the maintenance. The premium factor’s still there!
Back in '06 in Toronto, I had a 2004 S500. Man, the fuel pump was a pain; kept dying on me. The alloy wheels would rust too, like nobody’s business. Plus, the symbol lights were always freaking out. Other folks had issues with fluid leaks too. Classic car, but needed love!
I’ve got a 2004 S500 in Canada, and the V-12’s rumble is sweet, but man, the reliability’s shaky. My buddy in the US mentioned the suspension system gives him grief on rough roads. Also, the electronics sometimes act up—don’t get me wrong, its style is tops. But between the gearbox quirks and heater issues, it’s a bit like Juggling cats sometimes! Keep your toolbox handy!
I’ve got this buddy in Seattle who had a 2004 S500. Huge gas gulper and the A/C was bonkers. Had to replace that suspension thrice in two years. 
Parting with that beast made me breath a sigh. So many recalls too, it was a nightmare.
I’ve had an S500 in Canada, and man, the transmission was a real pain. Near Quebec City, it kept slipping. Some say the torque convertor acts funky. Plus, overheating issues like mad. Air-conditioning sometimes folds up too. So, always check those bods when you buy!
I’ve got a '04 S500 here in Toronto, and it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. The electrical system gives me headaches, random dashboard lights flickering and all. Also, threw out the transmission fluid like it was water a few times. Friends say this model’s air conditioning has quirks too, sometimes stops blowing cold after a hot day. Despite the issues, she rides like a dream, though! Anyone else noticed these or their own quirks?
I’ve got a 2004 S500 in Canada, and I’ve dealt with overheating issues 'n creaky suspension. Steering felt off, too. Jacked up repair bills, lol. Hope it lasts!
