My suggestion is to write a letter(limited to 1000 characters) from the MBUSA contact us site. You will get a call in a few days. Be polite, explain the situation, don't accuse them of anything. Provide your VIN so they can confirm the production date. Level headed is the way to go. Remember to thank them afterwards.

Ironically, I got a letter from MBUSA headquarters this week with something about providing the best satisfaction possible for the car. Not sure if it was related to my email to them.

No way, that is awesome! Can you PLEASE tell me who you spoke with there? I tried MBUSA earlier and they denied me because I was over the limitations, even though I had complained about it since I had the car

it would be much appreciated if you can refer me to who you spoke with, thanks

QUESTION: I got my rears replaced today with the updated parts, and I can tell that the new rear pads are "black" in color and they do look kinda cool and aftermarket...

They have a part number stamped on the front that reads : A 204 423 12 10

Did I get the same replacements as everyone else???

How come mine do not say 005 420 42 20 for the part number like the others that posted???

New brake pads are black with MB Logo and part # lettering on white. The pads are also seen through the caliper. My parts order was:

1 005-420-42-20 Brake Lining
1 211-540-17-17 Brake Wear S
1 001-989-94-51 Brake Paste

They emit almost no dust on my rears so far.
