2007 Mercedes Benz C280 complaints

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION,THREE INSTANCES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCEDES BENZ C280. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 19000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED WITH NO WARNING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE WAS STILL ALMOST ONE QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR. RESEARCH ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE REVEALED THAT THERE WAS A PART 573 DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT FILED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND A MANUFACTURER'S CAMPAIGN IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS ISSUED #2008070001. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BY THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION HAD I BEEN TRAVELING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF A LOCAL STREET AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT. *TR

I TOOK DELIVERY OF A NEW 2007 MERCEDES BENZ C280 4MATIC VEHICLE THE 1ST WEEK OF JANUARY,2007 & ON JANUARY 14, 2007 I WAS RETURNING HOME ON A US HIGHWAY IN SEMINOLE COUNTY, OKLAHOMA WHEN I APPROACHED A SMALL (8 INCHES TALL) HOUSE CAT OR POSSUM & WAS UNABLE TO AVOID RUNNING OVER THE ANIMAL. RATHER THAN THE ANIMAL MAKING CONTACT WITH THE "SKID (PROTECTIVE) PLATE" & FALLING TO THE PAVEMENT, THE ANIMAL BUSTED THROUGH THE PLATE & ENTERED INTO THE RADIATOR FAN UNIT DOING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE (APPROXIMATELY $3000). UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE "SKID PLATE" WAS A THIN PLASTIC COVERING NOT CAPABLE OF DEFLECTING THE IMPACT OF AN OBJECT, BUT RATHER ALLOWING THE OBJECT TO ENTER THE ENGINE CAVITY. I WOULD REQUEST THAT A STUDY BE DONE TO DETERMINE IF THIS PLATE MEETS THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS. *TR
