I am pretty sure that resetting the EAS is simply a matter or turning the wheel lock to lock and it is a pretty simple procedure. They're also going to do a few other minor things for the $49 and I'm so tired of this ordeal I'm just going to let them do that and I'll bring her home and deal with the other issues ASAP...

Overall in the past year or so I've really soured on Chrysler in general after being an ardent supporter and buying four of their vehicles over the past 10 years...

Will probably go back to the older (SDL and such) MBs in the future as everyday cars (currently restoring a 66 250S)...I know the XF has a lot of MB parts but they're an amalgam of spares and it isn't quite the same...MB customer service has also always been phenomenal even if the car I was contacting them about was 15 years old and worth less than 4k...very quick to respond...very courteous and would even provide great follow-up...the independent MB mechanics around here are also very good and reasonable for the few things I can't handle myself on the older models...

I love the XF and hope to repaint the bumpers (City and Highway driving ugh) and have the mechanical demons sorted out over the next few months and then I'll retire her from regular use and will enjoy her for a few miles on the weekends or less...try to limit the miles and abuse while enjoying the generally solid feel of the car...

Thanks Boiler!
