What problems does the Mercedes Class A version W169 have?
Years 2004-2012

Answer

The biggest problem with the Mercedes A-Class is its automatic transmission, which is, in fact, a longstanding issue with low-end automatic transmissions. If you want to be on the safe side, it's almost mandatory to change the oil every 40,000 km. Additionally, the transmission is not entirely reliable, and the suspension doesn't like bad road conditions.
