2013 Mercedes-Benz C300 complaints

PROBLEM IDENTICAL TO ONE IN WETHERSFIELD CT. LISTED AS VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. HAPPENED TO BOTH MY WIFE AND MYSELF ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING UP THE DRIVEWAY AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE SHUT OFFT ALONG WITH BRAKES NOT WORKING AND STEERING WHEEL UNABLE TO TURN.ONE HOUR LATER AFTER SHE LEFT THE CAR I WENT OUT AND IT STARTED AND ALL WARNIG LIGHT WERE OUT. MY INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET PRIOR TO COMING TO A STOP SIGN ABS LIGHT CAME ON VEHICLE HAD NO BRAKES STEERING OR POWER. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING SLOW AFTER STOPPING I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WORKS. NOT SURE IF VEHICLE COVERED BY WARRATY PURCHASE VEHICLE USED WITH 15000 MILES PRESENTLY HAS 27000 MILES ON VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH NO BRAKES APPLIED.

VEHICLE THROTTLE DID NOT RESPOND. INCIDENT OCCURRED TWICE AND WAS REPAIRED TWICE. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 17,500 MILES DRIVEN. IN THE FIRST INCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING IN DRY PAVEMENT AND GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS ON LOCAL ROADS, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME LESS RESPONSIVE UNTIL IT NO LONGER RESPONDED TO ANY INPUTS AND VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN HOME. INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE DRIVEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER INDICATED THAT CONNECTOR PINS BETWEEN THE THROTTLE BODY AND ECU WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AND 50 MILES LATER, INCIDENT REOCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ROADS. DRIVER RECOGNIZING SYMPTOMS, PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. DEALER INDICATED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SENSOR, AND CONNECTOR TO ECU REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 15MPH AND THE AIRBAG IN THE DRIVERS STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. MERCEDES DECLINES TO COMPLETE AN INSPECTION AND OFFERED TO REPLACE AND RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE DECISION TO NOT COMPLETE AN INSPECTION DUE TO THE SEVERE NATURE OF THE SITUATION. I WAS BURNED AND BRUISED ON MY LEFT ARM AND SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE DUE TO THE SHOCK OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE.

I HAVE C 300 2013 MERCEDES WHICH BROKE MORE THAN 3 TIMES ( ALL WITHIN A YEAR, THIS IS A NEW CAR) WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY TO A DRIVER. ACCELERATION DIMINISHED, BREAKS ARE NOT FULLY FUNCTIONING, WIND SHIELD WIPER DON'T WORK, SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK. I REQUESTED TO GET A NEW VEHICLE, BUT MY REQUEST WAS DENIED. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MERCEDES DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY (OR ANY OTHER PERSON WHO HAS THIS CAR) AT ALL.I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. MAY BE THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ELECTRIC PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND POSSIBLY RECALL HAS TO BE DONE. *TR

REAR FOG LIGHT NOT WORKING TOLD THERE IS ONLY A REAR DRIVERS SIDE FOG LIGHT? CONCERNED W THE PAST TRUNK FIRE ISSUES W LIGHTS. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAGS ENABLED THEN DISABLED JUST RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING WITH THE SEAT BELT CLICKED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. A AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF THEN AFTER FEW MILES SUDDENLY A MASSAGE IN THE DASHBOARD SAYING "AIRBAG NOW ENABLED PLEASE SEE DRIVER MANUAL" I TOOK THE CAR TO MB SERVICE, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODE FOR PROBLEMS. THEY ASK ME TO VIDEOTAPE THE MESSAGES AND THE LIGHTS WHEN COME ON. I JUST DID TODAY. WILL SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO WITH IT. IT'S SOUND REALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGER WITH HIS AIRBAG DISABLED. HAPPEN TO ME 5-6 TIMES , THE CAR HAS 4000 MILE ONLY !! *TR

THE 'PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED' MESSAGE COMES ON EVEN IF WHEN THERE'S AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND AM USING A LOANER, ANOTHER 2013 C300, THE MESSAGE JUST APPEARED IN THE LOANER AS WELL, LOANER HAS LESS THAN 1,000 MILES THE MESSAGE APPEARS RANDOMLY WHETHER PARKED OR MOVING. THE DEALER CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR NOT. THE PART, WHICH IS MANUFACTURED IN GERMANY, IS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. *TR
