I don't see how the severity of the complaint is relevant.
For a new car under warranty, an engine light or a blown transmission translate into the same thing for the consumer: wasted time and a trip to the dealer.
The expectations issue, however, is quite valid. There is no question that part of the reason Mercedes took such a beating in recent years was the lofty expectation people had of the car. A rattle in Kia has less of an impact than a rattle in $60,000 MB.
