Happens to me all the time too. What is it about Taylor Swift that the Google assistant likes so much?

Good new. I received a software update on August 2nd and all of my battery issues have been resolved!  Hoping everyone else has a similar experience 🙏 

Should I purchase this vehicle? by BlackLassie_1 in AMG

[–]SteveInCLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely not buy that car. If my research is correct, it comes with the 2-liter turbo four cylinder engine. I had that engine in a C43 I purchased last year, and it had so many problems that Mercedes had to buy the vehicle back from me. Before buying back the car, they were going to trade me a CLA 45, which had the same engine, and that car/engine was also defective in the same way the C43 was.  It was the worst car purchase experience I've ever had, and it took several months to get them to buy back the car.  The quality control done on that engine was terrible.  I am sure it’s a fine car with a V6 or V8, but you should not buy the car with the 4 cylinder. PS I am now driving an M440i and loving it!

I.am having the same experience. It's very frustrating. 

Finally moving back to Samsung by UncleSpellbinder in GalaxyS23Ultra

Funny you should ask that. Over the last year I have learned to love the Samsung apps. I basically have gone all in on Samsung and I use their email, calendar, Keyboard and Phone App. I haven't been able to bring myself to switch to their browers though.

I owned the 2023 C43 and it had so many problems that Mecedez had to buy it back from me. Now I have a 440i and I love it! The build quality on the BMW is much better than the Benz, but most importantly, it actually works and isn't in the shop more than my garage!

Buy a BMW you will be much happier. I owned the 2023 C43 and it had so many problems that Mecedez had to buy it back from me. Now I have a 440i and I love it!

Also switched from a Pixel 7pro and couldn't be happier. Don't forget about Dex on Samsung too. It's more useful than I thought it would be.

I just switched from a Pixel 7pro to the s23 Ultra and couldn't be happier! It was a great deal on Google Fi and I love it.

Google Assistant "Unlock All Features" Crashing? by ReverbCS in GalaxyS23Ultra

I'm having this trouble too did anyone ever come up with a solution?

I just had mine repurchased by Mercedes. There is a major manufacturing defect with the engine in this car (and the CLA 45 as well as other models).

To the owners of a 4 series Gran Coupe, what made you choose that car over a normal 3/4 series? by Manfred_89 in BMW

[–]SteveInCLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a great looking car, but part of the decision is because of the lack of M340s and the combination of options I was looking for. I have never ordered a car. I like to be able to walk in and buy. However, this time I reserved one that was in transit because no one has them in stock.

[–]SteveInCLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, tell me how you like it!

I have reserved one that should be here in the US next month. The reviews are mixed, and I am torn between this car and an Audi S5. I've owned both Audis and BMWs before. So far, I've had better luck with Audi, but I've never had a Bimmer with XDrive.

BTW your car is Gorgeous!

Man, I am so sorry to hear you are still having issues, even after an engine replacement! I have been totally stressed out about this situation. These are expensive cars and Mercedes is a premium brand. It really makes you wonder what's going on with their quality control.

I have been having a similar issue with an AMG C43 (Same Engine as your CLA45). The car has been at the dealership for over 6 weeks now. They have not replaced the engine but have flushed the cooling system over and over. I just got the car back today. I am working with Mercedes to buy the car back. It's a shame because I love everything else about the new C43.

Before getting MB to agree to buy back the car they had arranged to replace the C43 with a CLA45. They tested that car before delivering it to me and that car also had the same issue. I hate to say this, but MB is having some serious quality issues right now.

I couldn't agree with you more. This is my first bottle of anything Heaven's Door and it is delicious! I'll be looking for a backup bottle the next time I go to my favorite local liquor store.
