2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 complaints

TRANSFER CASE RESEAL. I HAVE A 2008 C300 I BOUGHT WITH 56K MILES ON IT, I HAD TO HAVE THE WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. WHEN THIS SERVICE TOOK PLACE, I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED TO HAVE MY TRANSFER CASE RESEALED AND THE CAM SHAFT MAGNETS REPLACED. THIS CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILES ON IT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NEEDED AT THIS TIME. I HAVE SEEN ON MANY BOARDS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T MB RECALLED THIS YET? IT APPEARS THE 2008 MODEL IS PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS AS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING LOCK AS WELL AS IT FAILED. AGAIN, COMMON PROBLEM AND NOT RECALL. I NOW HAVE A SEATBELT SENSOR THAT FAULTY. ALL OF THIS BEFORE I HAVE EVEN HIT 100K. MY 2001 ML IS WELL OVER 200K AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES WITH THE ML.

TAKATA RECALL, AND SRS MODULE. MERCEDES BENZ PARAMUS WILL NOT FIX RECALL UNLESS I PAY 400 DOLLARS FOR A MALFUNCTION ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT BUCKLE, WHICH WORKS FINE AND LOCKS IN PLACE. FOR PREVIOUS RECALL AT MERCEDES BENZ IN ENGLEWOOD NJ, THEY SERVICE SHOP ALWAYS UPCHARGES AND IF I REFUSE TO PAY THEY WILL NOT DO RECALL. THE ENGLEWOOD ONE TRIED TO CHARGE ME 700 DOLLARS FOR A O2 SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THEY CAN FIX RECALL AND I HAD REFUSED. THIS WAS TWO YEARS AGO. NOW ON 9/12/18 AT 3:00PM I DROPPED MY CAR OFF FOR THE RECALL, THEN THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL DO IT, THEN MAGICALLY MY STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKED AND CHARGED ME 1100 DOLLARS TO FIX IT WITHOUT FIXING ME RECALL BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT THE SEATBELT BUCKLE WAS FAULTY AND THEY NEED TO FIX THAT AND CHARGE ME 400 DOLLARS BEFORE THEY CAN FIX RECALL. MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX] I AM [XXX] AND I RESIDE AT [XXX], THE SHOP GIVING ME PROBLEMS IS LOCATED IN MERCEDES BENZ IN PARAMUS NJ.

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V363 AND 16V081 OUTSTANDING SINCE EARLY 2016, AND AS OF TODAY 08/17/2018, WE ARE STILL GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM MERCEDES BENZ ON A FIX.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND HAD TO JUMP START IT. I DROVE THE CAR TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS IT. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AS THE DEALERSHIP WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL! WARNING SIGN APPEARED FOR PASSANGER SEAT!! I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR WITH AIRBAG MAL FUNCTION!

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS REMEDIED FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTS. I LIVE IN A TROPICAL AREA SO THE CHANCES OF AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IS GREATER

TAKATA RECALL: STILL NO REMEDY

TAKATA RECALL CAR IS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP SAYS REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION, LEFT ME STRANDED SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE FAILURE WITH STEERING LOCK AND ESL

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR THE TAKATA RECALL AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MERCEDES DATED DECEMBER 2017 INDICATING THE PARTS FOR MY CAR SHOULD BE IN BY MARCH 31,2018. THIS IS ONLY COMMUNICATION I RECEIVED. I CALLED ON APRIL 25, 2018 AND TODAY JULY 30,2018. STILL NO REPLACEMENT FOR MY CAR. I WAS INFORMED THAT NHTSA WAS CONTROLLING WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE SENT ON MY CAR.

THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK MECHANISM FAILED, LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH PREVENTED IGNITION AND THE ABILITY TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO MANUAL FOR TOWING. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON A PUBLIC ROADWAY IN ORDER TO ASSIST A LOST CHILD. AFTER THE POLICE ARRIVED TO ASSIST, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART, PUSHED, OR MOVED FURTHER OFF OF THE ROAD. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS REPAIR IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ON 2008 C300 CARS AND THE OEM PARTS WERE PART OF A BAD BATCH OF SUPPLIER PARTS.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN ROSWELL ROAD AND A 2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN HIT THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT. THE SUBURBAN WAS MAKING A LEFT OUT OF A COMPLEX AND DID NOT SEE MY CAR IN FRONT OF HIM AND HIT MY PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS. WONDERING WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BASED ON THE IMPACT. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS SITTING AT THE BACK OF THE CAR, THOUGH, MY SISTER WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

TAKATA RECALL. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2008 MERCEDES-BENZ C300? I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. ITS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. WHEN WILL MY VEHICLE BE SERVICED?

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL WAS INITIATED IN2015 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS OF THIS DATE. I KEEP GETTING NOTICES FROM MERCEDES-BENZ THAT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE AIR BAG PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. HOW IS IT THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE MAKING NEW CARS WITH WORKING AIR BAGS BUT NOT FOR THOSE UNDER RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL. HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING 2 YEARS FOR A RESOLUTION. RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM MERCEDES-BENZ 3 MONTHS AGO STATING THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE NO LATER THAN MARCH 31, 2018 AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS. IT'S NOT APRIL 4, STILL HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED, AND SEEMS PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. AGAIN, HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 2 YEARS ON THIS. UNACCEPTABLE.

BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT SEAT ARE DEFECTIVE. THE WARNING DANGER LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. MERCEDES KEEPS PUTTING THE REPLACEMENT OFF. NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME JUNE OF THIS YEAR. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE MY GOVERNMENT PUTS PRESSURE ON THEM. ARE THERE ANY CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS GOING ON WITH THIS?

FRONT SUSPENSION DROPPED TO LOW AND HITS THE TIRES WHILE DRIVING CAR CAUSING FLAT TO TIRE AND LOSE CONTROL OF CAR VERY DANGEROUS.

AIR CONDITIONER SMELLS CORROSION WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AND CAUSED SEVERE HEADACHE REACTION WHILE DRIVING CAR AND WENT TO CAR REPAIR SHOP AND WAS DIAGNOSED TO HAVE A/C COIL LEAKING INSIDE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL , EIS , ESL SEIZED UP AND CAR WON'T START ANYMORE , COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND REPAIR IS COSTLY SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE IT'S A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND NOT CAUSED BY THE USER, THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAVE ANYONE STRANDED IN THE WORST OF SITUATIONS AND IT CAN SEIZE UP WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER

THIS ISSUE SURFACED WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKES WHERE APPLIED. LOST BREAKING DUE TO CORROSION PERFORATING REAR BRAKE LINES CAUSING BREAK FLUID TO LEAK AND TOTAL LOSS OF BREAKING. THIS IS A 2008 C CLASS 4MATIC SPORT WHERE BOTH REAR BRAKE LINES FEEDING FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE REAR CALIPERS WERE TOTALLY RUSTED AND CAUSED THE CAR TO LOOSE ALL BRAKING. BRAKE LINES RUSTED MOSTLY WHERE THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE FRAME UNDER THE CAR DUE TO SUB PAR QUALITY OF THE METAL USED AND MOISTURE TRAPPED BETWEEN THE BRACKET AND THE BRAKE LINE. I OWN TWO OTHER CARS THAT ARE 22 YEARS OLD WITH NO RUST ON THE BRAKE LINES AND DRIVEN IN THE SAME EXACT ENVIRONMENT AS THIS MB C300. REPAIR COST AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP RAN $1600.
