Hi,
this is my first post (after reading a lot over the last couple of weeks). I got a new 2006 SL, Touring, VDC, 1 1/2 weeks ago and I really like the car. I have one minor problem and hope that maybe someone has already ran into the same (didn't find anything using the search function) and has a simple solution.
Let me describe:
At random points shortly after starting the clock resets to 1:01.
Here is the sequence of events I see:
- Clock is displaying correct time when display comes on
- Clock does not advance minutes but rest of display works normal (e.g. temperature changes etc.)
- After 3-4 minutes the computer detects that clock is out of whack and restarts clock at 1:01 - clock is advancing minutes as usual (1:02, 1:03 etc) from that point on.
It happens in very unpredictable intervals - around 5 times since I got the car, last occurance was last night - last one before that was 5 days ago...
I am a bit worried if I try to get the dealer to fix it it's one of those 'we can't reproduce the problem'.....
Hoping for advice
And thanks for all the great information that helped me to pick the perfect car for me....
