STEERING COLUMN LOCK FAILURE. THIS DISABLED THE IGNITION NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO START. FROM A LITTLE REASEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. THIS LEFT ME COMPLETELY STRANDED AND MERCEDES DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT IS EASY TO FIND AND DIAGNOSE WITH A FEW MINUTES ON THE INTERNET. THERE IS ALSO A EIS ISSUE BUT MINE IS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK MOTOR CAUSING THE PROBLEM. MERCEDES NEEDS TO RECALL THESE AND MAKE IT RIGHT. THAY COULD STRAND PEOPLE IN A BAD SITUATION. MY CAR RAN FINE BIT WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL LOCK AND UNLOCK FUNCTIONS WORKED. I HAD A MESSAGE ON THE DASH TO REMOVE KEY. IT HAD NO ACCESSORY TURN ON OR CRANK FUNCTION.

SEATBELT BUCKLE OF THE DRIVER SEAT TRIGGERS THE SENSOR THAT DISPLAYS SRS MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER SAID THAT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THIS SENSOR IS TRIGGERED.

I WAS LEFT STRANDED LAST WEEK,IT WAS VERY LATE , STOP TO GET GAS AT A NEAR BY GAS STATION . WHEN I WENT TO TRY TO START MY CAR AFTER PUTTING GAS . THE CAR WOULD NOT START . I HAD TO CALL A FAMILY MEMBER AND A TOW TRUCK.IT WAS VERY LATE AND I WAS NOT IN A NICE AREA SOMETHING BAD COULD OF HAPPEN TO ME. I CALLED MERCEDES BUT THEY SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE TILL I TAKE THEM THE CAR.

ON 3/6/16 THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT GAS STATION FOR A FEW MINUTES. UPON MY RETURN TO THE CAR, THE CAR WOULDN'T START. CONTACTED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY TRIED IN VAIN TO START CAR. HAD TO TOW VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP. NEXT DAY, MECHANIC TESTED AND RAN DIAGNOSTICS - FOUND BAD EZL STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY. MILEAGE WAS 92950 AT TIME OF FAILURE. COST $1200. HAD TO WAIT A WEEK TO GET PARTS AND FOR REPAIR. RENTAL EXPENSE WAS AN ADDITIONAL $200. GRAND TOTAL - $1400.

MY MERCEDES C300 2008 WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. I WALKED OUTSIDE AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD INEXPLICABLY EXPLODED OUTWARD. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. OUR SLIDING SUNROOF SHADE WAS OPEN. WE FOUND GLASS ALL OVER THE ROOF OF THE CAR, IN THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND. FORTUNATELY, NO FAMILY MEMBER WAS CLOSE TO THE CAR WHEN IT OCCURRED. WE ALSO FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE NOT DRIVING THE CAR, FOR THIS DEFECT AND RESULTING EXPLOSION COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY AND A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK - KNOWN DEFECT - CAR DOESN'T START NO RECALL ISSUED.

VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I GET "REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION" WHEN EITHER KEY IS PLACED IN THE IGNITION. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER C300 OWNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. WHEN I TOLD MY SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, J WAS TOLD IT COULD RANGE FROM $475 TO OVER $2000. THE KEYS AND THE IGNITION SYSTEM ARE THE CULPRIT AND MERCEDES HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS.

COULD NOT START MY CAR WHILE STATIONARY. PUT KEY IN THE IGNITION AND GOT A MESSAGE ON THE DASH TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. THERE WAS NO CLICKING OR NOISE...IT WAS JUST DEAD. THE ALARM SYSTEM AND HEADLIGHT AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ALL WORKING SO IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. I CALLED ROADSIDE AND THE GAVE ME A JUMP, BUT CONFIRMED THAT MY BATTERY WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER WAITING FOR 5 HOURS. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT EVEN CONDUCT THE DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING LOCK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $1000. THEY DID NOT EVEN OFFER TO LOAN ME A CAR, OR ASK IF I NEEDED TRANSPORTATION. SO ESSENTIALLY THEY LEFT THEIR CUSTOMER STRANDED! THIS IS NOT THE SERVICE THAT IS EXPECTED FROM MERCEDES! I HAVE HAD CARS (ACURA AND BMW) LONGER THAN MY 2008 C300 WITH MORE MILES WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING LOCK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG ALL MERCEDES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED AN NHTSA RECALL LETTER IN DECEMBER, 2015 (#15V711). MY LOCAL MERCEDES BENZ DEALER FAILED/WAS UNABLE TO PERFORMANCE THE REQUIRED RECALL SERVICE WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THIS LETTER PURSUANT TO LAW 49 U.S.C. CHAPTER 301. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD BE FIXED, BUT WARNED ME THAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. IN MY VIEW, THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY. IF THESE AIRBAGS ARE THAT MUCH OF A RISK, THEN WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE TO DISABLE THEM UNTIL THEY CAN BE FIXED? I GET THEY CAN PREVENT INJURY, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY CAN CAUSE MORE INJURY/DEATH IN MINOR ACCIDENTS IF NOT REPAIRED. WHAT IS NHTSA DOING TO GET THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDE THE INVENTORY NECESSARY TO GET THESE POTENTIALLY DEADLY AIRBAGS OUT OF PEOPLE'S CARS? THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED THE LETTER OF RECALL AT THE END OF DECEMBER 2015, ACCORDING TO WHICH AIRBAGS SHALL BE REPLACED BY AUTHORIZED MB DEALER OR MBUSA WITHIN 60 DAYS FREE OF CHARGE, IT'S MARCH 4TH 2016 NOW, NOTHING HAPPENED, MB DIDN'T MAKE THE REPAIR OR EVEN CONTACTED US. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE INFO FROM THEM ON TAKATA WHEN YOU CALL THEM.
