Imagine paying $1/2 mil for a car and then burning to death in a fiery blaze. No company's perfect. At least they recognize a potential problem and are addressing it. I'm pretty sure the owners will receive adequate treatment from their dealers for the inconvenience.

Truth is Mercedes already new of a fire hazrd with the car when they first introduced the car. I work for a Mercedes dealer and went to training for the car. Even to jump start the car you need to partially disassemble it to prevent it from catching fire! Not the way I want to spend a cool half mil!

I would ratter have recalls, than hinding the truth like Nissan did on the G35.

And a lot of company hide the truth just to protect them from a bad image.
