2010 Mercedes-Benz C300 complaints

I 'M GETTING A MESSAGE FROM THE COMPUTER TELLING ME ABOUT THAT MY RIGHT FRONT TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING

I READ ALL THE INTERNET AND FORUMS ALMOST EVERY C300 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS THAT WE PAY FOR A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION. CAR WON'T START AND SHOW A MSG OF TAKE CAR OF IGNITION . IT'S A $2000 FIX FOR SOMETHING SMALL BUT ONLY CAN BE FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT'S A HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN BRIGHT DAY LIGHT . PLEASE SAVE THE CONSUMERS FROM A GREEDY COMPANY . LAST TIME I WILL EVER OWN A BENZ .

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 C300, 99,000 MILES AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN I EXPERIENCED A NEARLY FATAL COLLISION. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, I EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE REAR CROSS-MEMBER SUBFRAME WHICH CAUSED THE REAR LEFT WHEEL TO DEVIATE IN A SUCH A WAY THAT CAUSED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO FISHTAIL. I HAD TO FIGHT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND AVOID A HEAD-ON COLLISION. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY MECHANIC WHO POINTED TO A BREAK IN THE SUB-FRAME WHERE THE REAR-LEFT TIRE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ATTACHED TO THE REST OF THE CAR. THE BREAK APPEARS TO HAVE MANIFESTED WHERE THE SHEET METAL COMPONENTS WERE WELDED TO FORM A BRACKET IN THE SUBFRAME. I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTIONS ARE CARRIED OUT AND THE VEHICLE HAS PASSED SUCH INSPECTIONS WITH NO PAST INDICATORS OF RUST. THE SAFETY INSPECTION FOCUSES ON THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF COMPONENTS SUCH AS SUSPENSION AND FRAME. THE MOST RECENT STATE SAFETY INSPECTION WAS CARRIED OUT ON SEPTEMBER 2018, AT 97,000. FURTHERMORE, AT 90,663 MILES, MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER CONDUCTED A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY ISSUES WITH THE SUBFRAME, SUSPENSION, OR ANY OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. NEAR-FATAL, CATASTROPHIC FAILURES SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE ON A MODERN LUXURY CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD, UNLESS THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. HOWEVER, MERCEDES-BENZ USA REFUSED TO CONSIDER A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MADE THE DETERMINATION WITHOUT REVIEWING PHOTOS OF THE STRUCTURAL BRAKE. NOTE THAT B

REAR TAIL LAMP ELECTRIC HARNESS MELTED. SPECIFICALLY THE BROWN WIRE. THIS ALSO MELTED THE TERMINAL LEADING TO A FIRE HAZARD AND THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. THIS IS AFTER THE LIGHTS WERE "FIXED" FOR THE RECALL.

MY RIGHT TAIL LIGHT KEEPS DIMMING AND GOING BACK BRIGHT. I THOUGHT I NEEDED A BULB BUT BUT IT GAVE ME A MESSAGE TODAY FOR EVERYTHING ON THE RIGHT SIDE BUT THEN THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. LAST NIGHT SOMEONE TOLD ME THE RIGHT LIGHT WAS DIM THEN IT GOT BRIGHTER. I'VE BEEN SMELLING A FAINT BURNING SMELL BUT TODAY IT WAS KIND OF LOUD. I CHECKED AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE PLASTIC AND WIRE IS MELTING ON RTE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT.

THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL MERCEDES. MERCEDES ACKNOWLEDGED THE "TAKATA" AIRBAG RECALL VIA A LETTER IN APRIL 2016. DESPITE RECEIVING REMINDERS THAT MY VEHICLE MAY REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REPAIR SERVICE AS PART OF A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL, NO REPLACEMENT HAS OCCURRED. I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS ISSUE?

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITY RISK YOUR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL BASED ON THE DEFAULT DECISION OF TK HOLDINGS, INC. (TAKATA). IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES DURING A CRASH THAT REQUIRES FRONTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE DEFECT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO EXPLODE DURING DEPLOYMENT AND COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE DRIVER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

FUEL TANK LEAK- SMELL GAS IN CAR AND OUTSIDE CAR. RECEIVED NOTICE OF AIRBAG RECALLS AND LIGHT ISSUE AS WELL. MAIN CONCERN IS GAS SMELL EMANATING FROM MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I FILL THE TANK.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MUST BE REPLACED

THE STEERING LOCK FAILED. STOPPED AT THE POST OFFICE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE CAR. THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD WORK BUT THE IGNITION WOULD NOT READ MY FOB. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL WAITING OVER 2 YEARS

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS AGO, WAS AT A CAR WASH CLEANING THE VEHICLE 4 DAYS AGO, TWO HOURS LATER READY TO LEAVE AND WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START, ONLY ABLE TO LOCK/UNLOCK VEHICLE WITH FAB AND RADIO AND DASH LIGHT STILL WORKED BUT CAR WAS JUST DEAD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TWICE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS GATED AND NO WHERE TO LEAVE IT ON A SUNDAY THAT WAS SAFE SO TOWED IT ON MONDAY MORNING TO PARK CITY OF DALLAS (MERCEDES) AND THEY ARE WORKING ON THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED IT IS THE STEERING PROBLEM THAT IS COMMON APPARENTLY WITH THIS MODEL. I HAVE READ SO MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. SO WHY ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHEN ITS OBVIOUS THAT MERCEDES BENZ MESSED UP THEY NEED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR COST NOT OURS. VERY FRUSTRATING AND DISAPPOINTING. I DROVE MY BMW FOR 22 YEARS AND IT NEVER LEFT ME STRANDED. I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE DUE TO SOMEONES NEGLIGENCE MY BMW WAS TOTALED SO THOUGHT I WOULD TRY A MERCEDES BUT TWO WEEKS INTO THIS DEAL I AM NOT HAPPY AND VERY CONCERNED THAT I MADE A TERRIBLE PURCHASE....

REAR TAIL LIGHT FAILURE . VEHICLE REPLACED REAR ELECTRICAL ON THE RECALL. HOWEVER MY TAIL LIGHTS FAILED AGAIN, THE DEALER REQUIRED PAYMENT.

TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY BURNING UP AGAIN. MY 2010 MB C300 4MATIC SPORT HAD A RECALL TO REPLACE BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND MB DEALER WANTS $159 JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. PROBLEMS: DASH WARNING MESSAGES STARTED TO APPEAL SAYING PROBLEMS WITH TAIL LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, FOG LIGHT, TURN SIGNAL, REVERSE LAMP... EVERYTHING IS OUT. LIGHT BULBS LOOKED FINE BUT I REPLACED ALL BULBS ANYWAY (FROM AUTOZONE PARTS), WORKED FOR A FEW HOURS, THEN WARNING MESSAGES SHOWED UP AGAIN. REPLACED ALL BULBS AGAIN. SAME THING. THEN ONE DAY, MESSAGES STOPPED AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING AGAIN. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER, IT STARTED AGAIN. WENT TO A MB DEALER (AT CHANTILLY, VA) ON 10/2/18 WHO WANTED $159 JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I INSTEAD PURCHASED A NEW TAIL LIGHT PANEL (LAMP CARRIER P/N 204-820-15-00-05) AT $20 BEFORE TAX TO REPLACE ON MY OWN. CAME HOME OPENED UP THE PANEL AND FOUND A BURNED WIRE. IT EVEN MELTED THE BLACK PLASTIC HOUSING OF WIRE HARDNESS AND A BLACK BURNED MARK ON THE PANEL (CARRIER). PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS. THIS CAN CAUSE A CAR FIRE. ALSO VERY UNSAFE DRIVING BECAUSE TUNE AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. SHOULDN'T MB FIX THIS AGAIN AT NO CHARGE? PLEASE RECALL AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW. I LIVE IN TEXAS WHICH IS IN ZONE A OF THE RECALL AND ACCORDING TO A DIAGRAM THAT MERCEDES SENT US WITH THE RECALL LETTER, THE TIME THE INFLATOR IS EXPECTED TO RUPTURE IS IN 6-9 YEARS. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY 8 YEARS OLD WHICH WOULD PUT IT AT EXTREME RISK AND MERCEDES STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS. THEY ALSO REFUSE TO OFFER A LOANER CAR. THEY RECENTLY STATED THAT A REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LAST JUNE OF 2018 HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOW DELAYED THAT AGAIN TO DECEMBER 2018.

TAKATA RECALL I'VE RECEIVED MULTIPLE NEW AVAILABILITY DATES FOR MY AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS SINCE 2016, BUT EACH TIME THE AVAILABILITY DATE IS PUSHED OUT. I'VE NOW BEEN STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE AND UNSELLABLE DUE TO THESE PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR YEARS. THE NEW DATE IS NOW "UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME".

MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING SUPERIOR, NO WARNING SIGNALS OR STRAINING WHEN POWERING ON. PARKED CAR THEN AN HOUR LATER TRIED TURNING VEHICLE ON AND WILL NOT TURN ON FOR ANY REASON JUST RADIO WORKED. FOUND OUT IT WAS STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR A HEFTY $1100. HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY 3 MONTHS AND BARELY USED IT. I BELIEVE IT'S A RECALL ON THESE ISSUES.

A BROCKEN REAR SPRING WAS DISCOVERED WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING SURVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP HERE IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACING SPRINGS ON MBS SUCH AS MINE IN AREAS SUCH AS HERE WHERE SALT IS USED ON WINTER ROADS IS NOT UNCOMMON.
