2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 complaints

AIR BAGS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED ALTHOUGH I CALL REGULARLY TO FIND OUT WHEN REPLACEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN A HOT AND HUMID CITY, SO GETTING THE REPLACEMENT IS VITAL.

TAKATA RECALL... I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES DEALERSHIP HERE IN HAWAII THAT HAS THE PARTS TO FIX MY RECALL. I'M AM PREGNANT AND HAVE CHILDREN AND WANT THIS FIXED. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS BEFORE IT GETS FIXED . IT WILL BE A BAD ENDING FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS FUMES OMITTING FROM MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE WEATHER GETS EXTREMELY HOT. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO GET CHECKED OUT AT A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP ON 12/23/2016 AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING FUEL. I LOOKED ON THE NHTSA DATABASE AND FOUND A RECALL REPORTED ON 12/03/2012 REGARDING A FUEL FILTER LEAK AS MENTIONED BELOW. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V557000 MANUFACTURER MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. COMPONENTS FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE SUMMARY MERCEDES-BENZ IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 S400, S550, S550 4MATIC, S63 AMG, C300, C300 4MATIC, E350, GLK350, GLK350 4MATIC, CL550 4MATIC, AND CL63 AMG VEHICLES I MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 18, 2011, THROUGH JULY 12, 2011. DUE TO AN IRREGULARITY STEMMING FROM THE MOLDING PROCESS OF THE FUEL FILTER FLANGE, THE FUEL FILTER FLANGE MAY CRACK WHEN OPERATED IN HIGH TEMPERATURES. ALTHOUGH THE RECALL WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR MERCEDES BENZ C300 MANUFACTURED IN 2011, I BELIEVED IT SHOULD ALSO EXTEND TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR; 2010. IM REPORTING THIS TO SEE IF ANY OTHER CARS HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WHAT WAS DESCRIBED ABOVE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFINITE FIRE RISK ESPECIALLY TO THOSE LIVING IN VERY HOT LOCATIONS SUCH AS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE RECALL COVERS MY CAR AND IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE SERVICES I PAID TO THE MECHANIC SHOP. THANK YOU.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL. I LIVE IN ZONE A . I HAVE CALLED MERCEDES BENZ SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT UPDATES AND POSSIBLE TIMELINE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. EACH TIME I AM TOLD THERE IS NO SOLUTION AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR PARTS ALONG WITH THE REFERENCE TO THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTED SITUATIONS OF PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE BAGS IN A MERCEDES BENZ. WHEN ASKED ABOUT FRONTAL COLLISIONS THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. IS THERE ANY POSITIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL?

TAKATA INFLATORS: 2 RECALLS AND NO ACTION TAKEN BY MERCEDES BENZ. TAKATA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2008. THEY NEED TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE THE PARTS AVAILABLE NOW! 9 YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH TO MANUFACTURE THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACEMENT.

CAR HAS A STRONG SULFUR/ROTTEN EGG SMELL AT ACCELERATION. HAD TO COMPLAIN TO LOCAL MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER 3 YEARS BEFORE SOMEONE LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP BLAMED AN ACCIDENT IN JAN 2014 FOR PROBLEM, BUT SULFUR SMELL DURING ACCELERATION WAS PRESENT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. INSTRUCTED TO TIGHTEN THE SEAL ON THE BUMPER IN OCTOBER 2016. STILL HAVING SULFUR SMELL ENTER CAR WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, THOUGH NOT AS STRONG AS BEFORE THE BUMPER SEAL WAS RETIGHTENED. THE SMELL STILL PERSISTS SO THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE.

TAKATA RECALL....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT MY CAR IS ONE OF THOSE UNDER THIS RECALL AND I HAVE HAD FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AN ALERT ON MY DISPLAY WHEN STARTING THE CAR INDICATING "SRS MALFUNCTION SERVICE REQUIRED". I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO MERCEDES ONCE WHO TOLD ME IT WAS A DUMMY LIGHT AND WAS CLEARED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND MY CALLS TO THE SHOP WERE NOT RETURNED. I THEN LEARNED OF THIS RECALL AND WHEN FINALLY REACHING SOMEONE WAS TOLD IT MAY BE RELATED AND THAT I WILL RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN A REPAIR WAS FOUND. IT'S BEEN AT LEAST A YEAR AND EVERY DAY I START MY VEHICLE I AM REMINDED THAT I OR ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR COULD BE AT RISK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE REVIEWS WERE ASTOUNDING ABOUT THE SAFETY FEATURES. YET HERE I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T DARE HAVE PASSENGERS IN. I BASICALLY USE THE CAR FOR WORK AND ONLY WORK. IT'S THE QUIVELANT OF HAVING A ONE SEATED CAR. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. I HAVE A GRANDSON COMING IN MAY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT I AM ABLE TO PICK HIM AND/OR MY DAUGHTER UP AND KNOW THAT I CAN SAFELY GET THEM TO DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS AND FOR VISITS. *TR

RECALL IS TAKING TO LONG TO RECTIFY. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND STILL WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PART.

TAKATA RECALL -- WHAT OTHER ALTERNATIVES ARE AVAILABLE SINCE THE MANUFACTURERS ARE TAKING FOREVER TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS? DOES ANYONE IN AMERICA MAKE AIRBAGS? I TOOK MY CAR TO TYSINGER TODAY AND ASKED THEM TO JUST DEACTIVATE BOTH AIRBAGS AND THE GUY SAID IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW, BUT I FOUND A FORM REGARDING DEACTIVATION OF THE BAGS. SO, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO DEACTIVATE THE BAGS? I FEEL LESS AT RISK DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT THOSE BAGS RUPTURING. I SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THOSE AIRBAGS AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A SURPRISE THIS YEAR -- SURPRISE IS ON ME -- NOT HAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION, WE SHOULD FEEL SAFE IN OUR CARS! *TR

IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ENGINEERING FLAW. THERE IS A BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILS AND THEY ARE AWARE AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT COSTING THE CONSUMER 1000S OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE BEARING NORMALLY FAILS AT 50000 TO 90000 MILES SOME FAIL SOONER. MANY HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY AND WERE TREATED POORLY AND BASICALLY THE COMPANY DOES NOT CARE. WE JUST HAD OUR REPLACED LAST WEEK COSTING US 5200.00 PLEASE CHECK THE WEB YOU WILL FIND A LOT OF INFORMATION. MERCEDES KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND EVEN RESOLVED IT IN IT'S REBUILDS OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAVE NOT OFFERED A RECALL AND THIS IS WRONG AND WE SHOULD ALL GET OUR MONEY BACK BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUES AS YOUR TRANSMISSION COULD SEIZE .

I AM TRYING TO GET HELP REPLACING THE TAKATA AIR BAG, I HAVE CALLED MERCEDES-BENZ USA AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND BOTH SAID DRIVE SAFELY!! I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THE CAR BUT AM UNABLE TO SELL IT WITH THE RECALL.

THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK MECHANISM ON THESE VEHICLES APPEAR TO FAIL WITH ALARMING FREQUENCY. IF THE FAILURE WAS TO OCCUR ANY DISTANCE FROM A DEALER A MOTORIST WOULD BE STRANDED, PERHAPS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS LUCKY - THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN MY HOME TOWN, BUT THE NEAREST DEALER IS 2 HOURS AWAY - THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN FIX IT. THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS AND THE FAILURE TO ADDRESS IT (BY MERCEDES BENZ) IRRESPONSIBLE.
