THERE IS A LEAK IN THE OIL COOLER (ENGINE COOLING) OF MY 2001 MERCEDES BENZ S600. THE CAR HAS 79K MILES ON IT. IT STARTED DRIPPING OIL LATE LAST YEAR AT ABOUT 69K MILES AND IS NOW POURING OUT OIL PROFUSELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS CAR BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR IT. TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WILL COST AT LEAST 6K. THE CAR IS TOTALLY A LEMON AND I CANNOT DRIVE IT AS I AM TOLD THE OIL LEAK CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OR CAUSE A FIRE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND CHILDREN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS OIL LEAK PROBLEM. BELOW IS A LINK TO JUST ONE OF THE WEBSITES WHERE I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE HELP? MERCEDES BENZ NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE.

MERCEDES BENZ S-600 2001 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Report #10284537

MERCEDES BENZ S-600 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 17, 2009.MERCEDES BENZ S-600 2001, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . 2001 MERCEDES BENZ S600 OIL COOLER LEAKING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES. THE CAR IS DRIVEN NORMALLY TO WORK AND VACATION TRIPS. NOTHING SPECIAL LEADING UP TO THE OCCURRENCE. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID THAT WITH THE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT LEAKS AND HOW IT RUNS DOWN THE BELL HOUSING AND HITS THE EXHAUST, THAT A FIRE IS POSSIBLE. WITH THE WINDAGE TRAY THAT IS MOUNTED UNDER THE TRANSMISSION, IT CAUSES IT TO POOL THE OIL AND LEAKS ON THE EXHAUST WHEN IT IS DRIVEN. THE OIL COOLER IS MOUNTED UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND REQUIRES THE HEADS TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS APPROX EVERY 40K-60K MILES. A SIMPLE REPLACEMENT DOES NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THERE IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT HERE THAT MBUSA IS NOT WILLING TO RESOLVE WITH THE CUSTOMER OR A CHANGE IN DESIGN FOR RESOLUTION. I HAVE CALLED MBUSA (1-800-367-6372, 4,5) AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO MB IN NW ARKANSAS AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE SAME ISSUE AND ESTIMATED A REPAIR COST OF $7800 AND 2 WEEKS. I AM AWAITING SOME ATTENTION FORM NHTSA OR MBUSA BEFORE REPAIRS. I WOULD BE WILLING FOR NHTSA TO INSPECT CAR BEFORE AND DURING THE REPAIRS TO PUSH FOR A RECALL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE NET. PLEASE CHECK HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2001/MERCEDES+BENZ/S-600. *TR.Mileage was 50000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBNG78J51A.
