Mercedes-Benz South Africa
STAY AWAY FROM MERCEDES BENZ AND MITSUBISHI

Do not EVER buy anything with Mercedes Benz or Mitsubishi as backing!! I bought a Triton bakkie, and had troubles with the gearbox / clutch from the first day. I sent it to the dealer where I bought it, and they did BUGGERALL!!! I took it to the local dealer, and even though they tried to fix it, MBSA will not pay for parts, even though it's their responsibility!
From day one, I complained about the clutch/gearbox on the bakkie. Several efforts were made to fix it, but to no avail. At long last, it was discovered that the flywheel/pressure plate was worn to the extent that it had to be replaced. I had the bakkie for 14, 000 kilo's now, and it seems impossible that I could have worn it to this extent? However, even though the damage was done by the dealer from where I bought the bakkie, MBSA now puts the blame on me, to pay for the replacement of these parts.
Apparently, the clutch only has a 20, 000 kilo warranty??!! Seems to me that they knew the parts were not up to scratch, but put it in anyway.
STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MERCEDES BENZ SA, OR MITSUBISHI SA!!! I suppose Carte Blanche is my only option now???
