Known issues on the 2005 CLK55 AMG. The federal record lists three recalls for this model year, and all three concern the glass sunroof panel. In two campaigns the panel on certain cars might not have been fastened securely; in the third, the adhesive joining the glass to the sliding roof frame on certain 2005 CLK55 AMG vehicles could break down over time. Either way the glass could come away and become a hazard on the road, and dealers inspected and replaced parts as needed. Two owner complaints name this exact car, one of them about steering, and one further complaint against the 2005 CLK-Class line concerns the electrical system and exterior lighting. Roof, steering and electrical procedures, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are all here.
