2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C RWD

Collision Assyt not operating, E brake engaged damage rear brakes and rotors

Strong gas smell when car is idling and miles to empty goes down very quickly, approximately a mile or more a minute. There is no recall for this problem and Mercedes is very aware of this problem.

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated upon taking the front driver seat belt off she noticed, it was not fully retracting. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that the front passenger’s side seat belt was not fully retracting. The contact stated she received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V032000 (Seat Belts). The vehicle was taken to the dealer for recall repair; however, the dealer informed the contact that the seat belts did not qualify for the recall repair because the seat belts were fully retracting. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the vehicle recall history did not show that the VIN had been included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 2,500.

I was driving on a straight away doing the speed limit which is reported seconds before the car crash. The steering wheel turned to the left really hard out of no where and wouldn’t let me gain control over the car again. I was sober it was 9am and I was aware of my driving. I ended up spinning out and landed in the ditch feet away from the light pole. I made it know to everyone what happened, but they looked at me crazy. I stopped driving that car and sent it back to Mercedes to get a detailed inspection. Which lasted about 30 days for them to get back to me about what happened. When I received the call to get my car they didn’t provide any information about the incident. Instead they just sent it to corporate and left me in the dark. I was in pain during this whole time. I was couldn’t find a lawyer that was willing to help. It’s been three years since the incident and I will have to live with pain for the rest of my life. It’s not fair that we need thousands of dollars to be heard. I have all communication and documentation that was given during the time of incident.

Strong gas odor in the cabin and in motion to the point of causing me to be light headed with my children in the car. Smell of gas coming from the engine when parked. No lights or warnings and it does not occur all of the time just sometimes however ive noticed it 3x the last 5x i have drove my car, the cabin was only extremely bad once.

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side front seat belt retractors had malfunctioned, and the seat belts would not retract after unlocking. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed the recall repair under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V032000 (Seat Belts). The contact indicated that after retrieving the vehicle, the failure was still present. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

The car was parked on my driveway, As soon as i started it, I got a message 'The electronic rear axle differential lock is inoperative' NHTSA previously issued a recall for 2017 C63s AMG models. I purchased this vehicle from Carvana in April 2021 with clean single owner carfax. The manufacture warranty has expired. I have seen lots of posts on Mercedes forum talking about this issue where Mercedes did fix the issue free of cost. Since there is no open recall on my vehicle, I am not sure what to do.

MB USA extended the warranty coverage on the low pressure fuel hoses that connects to the high pressure fuel pump. The reason is "under certain cold ambient conditions during a cold start of the engine, the low pressure fuel hose at that connection may experience slight fuel weeping". MB USA, however, ruled out a safety risk. NHTSA needs to investigate it. If MB USA found the fuel pressure line is defective, they needed to do a recall. I believe it must be a recall as fuel leaks is not only a safety risk but also a serious health hazard to the occupants. What if the occupants have sinusitis and don't smell well. What if the leaks is too small to smell enough but can still be a health issue.

Light came on tonight and stayed on, Collinsion prevention assist inoperable. Car has been involved in any collision for this system to quit out of the blue

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V197000 (Structure) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the sunroof panel detached from the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

On August 18th, 2021 the roof panel between the windshield and the panoramic roof completely detached while driving on the highway. Luckily no accidents or injuries are reported. Safety recall for this issue has been issued since March 2021 but the factory hasn't produced the parts to send to the dealerships to make the necessary repair to this day. The car is currently unusable and unsafe to drive. Even if the dealership attempts to re-attach another panel they won't have the right adhesive, instructions, and panels that the engineers in the Mercedes factory redesigned to remedy this issue.

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V032000 (Seat Belts) however, the dealer informed the contact that the part for the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue but provided no assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

For the past several weeks the seat belt warning light goes on and the chime sounds intermittently while I am driving with the driver seat belt engaged. Also; while this is happening, the seat belt pretensioner repeatedly deactivates and activates. The vehicle is available for inspection at my home in Pleasant View, Utah. Can my safety be compromised if the pretensioner is not activated? Will the driver air bag function if it thinks the seat is empty? The Mercedes Dealer was no help; all the Customer Service person could tell me was there was not a Recall on my vehicle. "Just make an appointment and we will do a Diagnostic Inspection for $179." I have made an appointment with my local Mechanic on Thursday, July 29, and hope that he can fix it.

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side front seat belts failed to retract completely upon release. Due to the failure, the seat belts would fall to the floor upon release from the buckle. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V032000 (Seat Belts). The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer and had the recall serviced however, upon return of the vehicle, the failure persisted. The contact was willing to supply the part but not the labor costs, he was informed that the retractor assembly needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the seat belt retractors were not under recall. The contact was provided an estimate for the repair which he declined. Mercedes was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

I was in a car accident on June 30,2021. A Car collided into my drivers side at the front left wheel. My airbags did not deploy and i was injured. my injuries consisted of neck, shoulder, and lower back. I was also thrown to the passenger side of the vehicle because my seat belt did not seem to lock.

DOCUMENTATION ERRORS AND OMISSIONS MISINFORMATION REGARDING PROPER REPLACEMENT WHEEL. THIS MISINFORMATION COULD RESULT IN WHEELS WITH IMPROPER FIT BEING INSTALL POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN ABNORMAL HANDLING, DIMINISHED BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND IN EXTREME CASES POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED. MERCEDES PARTS WEB SITE, HTTPS://MBPARTS.MBUSA.COM, LISTS PARTS 205-401-11-00-7X23 FRONT AND 205-401-12-00-7X23 REAR AS THE PROPER REPLACEMENT WHEELS. THE SELLING DEALER, MERCEDES-BENZ OF FLEMINGTON, NJ INSISTS THAT THESE ARE NOT THE PROPER WHEELS BUT PARTS 205-401-48-00-7X23 FRONT AND 205-401-72-00-7X23 REAR ARE THE PROPER WHEELS. ALL THESE WHEELS ARE AVAILABLE FROM NUMEROUS RESELLERS. PURCHASING AND INSTALLING THE HTTPS://MBPARTS.MBUSA.COM LISTED WHEELS COULD RESULT IN THE AFOREMENTIONED SAFETY ISSUES.

WHEEL LIPS ON THIS VEHICLE DEFORM WITH LITTLE PROVOCATION RESULTING IN RAPID AIR LOSS, LOSS OF HANDLING AND IN EXTREME CASES A CRASH. THE SHAPE OF THESE WHEELS DEVIATES FROM OTHER ALLOY WHEELS IN A WAY THAT PROMOTES THIS BEHAVIOR. THE CURVE OF THE RIM BARREL BETWEEN THE LIPS (ALSO KNOW AS THE BELL) IS MUCH SHALLOWER THAN MANY OTHER WHEELS. THE RESULT IS THAT THE ANGLE AT WHICH THE BARREL MEETS THE LIPS IS CLOSER TO A RIGHT ANGLE THAN COMMON. THE BARREL MEETING THE LIP AT AN ANGLE CLOSER TO PARALLEL WITH THE PAVEMENT GREATLY INCREASE THE RISK THAT SUDDEN DEFLATION COULD OCCUR RESULTING IN THE AFOREMENTIONED SAFETY ISSUES.

THIS CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH ENOUGH PROTECTION FOR THE FRONT RADIATORS TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM DEBRIS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 2017 AND UP VEHICLES. THE RADIATOR SEEMS TO BE VERY FRAGILE DUE TO THE DESIGN AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF THE ISSUE, BUT CLAIMS ARE DENIED DUE TO BEING 'ROAD DEBRIS' BUT MERCEDES-BENZ FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CLASSES OF THEIR CARS. MY CAR HAS 27K MILES AND IS JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES.

CAR IS MAKING WEIRD NOISES FROM THE FRONT ELECTRICAL AC SIDE- IT IS HARD TO BREATH AC AIR (SMELL LIKE PLASTIC) . PRESSING BRAKES CAR IS HANDLING BAD AND GOES SLIGHTLY INTO OTHER LANE. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER- THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM

FRONT PANEL GLASS OF PANORAMIC SUNROOF FLEW OFF THE CAR AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE A FEATURE, WHERE IT TURNS ON AND OFF WHEN NOT IN MOTION, IT GETS STUCK IN THAT MODE AS IF A MAGNET IS HOLDING IT IN THAT POSITION. IT WILL NOT MOVE, IT STALLS. I TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND SOMETIMES IT STILL WILL NOT MOVE, SOMETIMES, IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ONCE, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF MY MAILBOX TO PICK UP MAIL, AND ANOTHER OCCASION I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE, AND IT STOPPED, AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I WOULD HATE TO BE IN TRAFFIC, RAILWAY CROSSING, IR STOP SIGN AND THIS OCCURRED. PEOPLES LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO THIS ISSUE. ONE LADY WAS HIT BY A TRAIN WHEN THIS SAME SITUATION OCCURRED AND LOST HER LIFE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OF MY GRANDKIDS WHOM I TRANSPORT IN THIS CAR. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE GEARS. SOMETIMES, I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT SITS THERE. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT WILL NOT MOVE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP.

A FUEL LINE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT JUST ABOVE THE SKID PLATE ON THE DRIVES SIDE JUST RIGHT OF THE FRONT WHEEL WELL LEAKS FUEL WHERE THE LINE IS CRIMPED COMING FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. FUEL COLLECTS ON THE SKID PLATE AND WHEN A STOP AT IDEA PRODUCES A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR

GAS LEAKING IS COMMON ISSUE AND WHEN TURNING CAR ON THERE IS A GAS SMELL. WHEN TURNING HEAT ON THERE IS A GAS SMELL. MERCEDES BENZ SAID THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE CLAMPS. IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. CAN CAUSE FIRE.

THE WHEELS ON MY TIRES WILL CRACK AT THE SLIGHTEST STRESS FROM THE ROAD. IT COULD BE A BUMP, A TINY POT HOLE, EVEN A STICK, AND THESE TIRES WILL BECOME DEFECTIVE, EITHER BY CRACKING, BECOMING FLAT OR THE WHEEL BECOMING COMPLETELY IMMOBLIZED. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR HOURS BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES. I'VE COME INTO WORK UN-SHOWERED WITH NO SLEEP, BECAUSE I WAS STRANDED FOR SOMETIMES UP TO 12 HOURS BEFORE I WOULD GET HELP. ITS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. THERE IS NO WAY THESE TIRES PASSED EVEN BASIC INSPECTION. THEY ARE DANGER TO ANYONE USING THEM.

ON MARCH 8, 2018 MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING TO A MEETING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL OF THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP SENDING THE VEHICLE INTO A 360-DEGREE SPIN. ALL SAFETY FEATURES IN THE VEHICLE FAILED. NO BRAKES, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT. ON OR AROUND OCTOBER 21ST OF 2018. MY VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A SECOND ACCIDENT. THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE ARE IDENTICAL. WHILE ON MY WAY TO A MEETING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL GOT LOCKED WHICH SENT THE CAR INTO A 360-DEGREE SPIN. BRAKES, STABILITY CONTROL FAIL, THE CAR ACCELERATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLPOY ON IMPACT. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I REQUESTED MBUSA TO DISPATCH A SOFTWARE ENGINEER TO HAVE THE ONBOARD ELECTRONICS EXAMINED FOR A POSSIBLE DEFECT. MBUSA ALONG WITH THE MANUFACTURER ARE REFUSING TO HAVE AN ENGINEER SENT. THE DEALERSHIP IS ENGAGED IN DECEITFUL TACTICS IN THEIR COMMUNICATIONS WITH MBUSA LLC. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO MBUSA STATING I AM NOT SHOWING UP TO PRESCRIBED MEETINGS. I HAVE SHOWED ON TIME ON THE DATE THE MEETINGS WITH THE ENGINEER WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE AND HAVE A WITNESS. ON THE NIGHT OF THE SECOND ACCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS BROKEN INTO TWICE. THE DEALERSHIP STAFF HAVE CHANGED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT APPEAR AS THOUGH IT WAS THE TIRE'S FAULT. THE PURCHASE RECEIPT FOR THE TIRE AND THE DOT NUMBERS DO NOT MATCH THE DOT NUMBER CURRENTLY ON A TIRE REPLACED BY THE STAFF. MBUSA ALLEGES IT IS THE TIRES FAULT WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY SCIENTIFIC FACT BASED EVIDEMCE. A YEAR AN A HALF LATER THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED AND EVERYONE IS POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER.

EXHAUST WAS COMING INTO THE CAR FOR MONTH. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR TO LET IT WARM UP IN WINTER MONTHS, I WOULD GET IN AND WONDER WHY I SMELLED GAS OR FUMES. FIGURED IT WAS FROM SITTING. NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, NO C02 SENSORS IF THERE ARE ANY, NOTHING CAME ON IN THE INTERIOR TO WARN ME THERE WAS AN INSANE. ONE PERSON TOLD ME THE PART WAS 'DEFECTIVE' ANOTHER PERSON TOLD MY BOYFRIEND THE PART WAS 'SPLIT MOST LIKELY FROM ROAD CONDITIONS' - THIS PUT MY LIFE AND MY 10 YEAR OLD'S LIFE AT RISK. IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT BECAUSE THE C300 COUPE IS RIDDLED WITH SMALL IDDUES

IN LATE OCTOBER 2019, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF SUDDENLY BLOW UP WITH A LOUD SOUND. MERCEDES CLAIMED THAT A ROCK OR SOMEONE SHOT BBGUN AT MY CAR.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION AFTER PULLING VERY SLOWLY INTO PARKING SPACE. ALMOST STOPPED. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED A CURB FROM, WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND HIT A TREE.

THE 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 VEHICLE SUFFERED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER/ELECTRICS WHILE IN MOTION AT SPEED AND IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY STOP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SUPPLY LEAVES THE VEHICLE IMMOBILE, WITHOUT WARNING INDICATORS AND CANNOT BE MOVED. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS AROUND 5PM IN A BUSY ROAD JUNCTION IN THE DARK, WITH LIMITED LIGHTING. AS THE VEHICLE IS BLACK COLORED IT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS AT ANOTHER BUSY ROAD JUNCTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT MIDDAY ON A SATURDAY. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE POLICE HAD TO ATTEND AS THE IMMOBILIZED VEHICLE POSED A SERIOUS HAZARD WITH A RISK OF CAUSING A COLLISION TO OTHER ROAD USERS. THE APPROXIMATE TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD IN THESE TWO INCIDENTS WERE BETWEEN 45 - 60 MINUTES. THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE TWO INCIDENTS WAS 11 DAYS. THE DAY FOLLOWING THEN FIRST INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A MERCEDES DEALERSHIP, WHO HAD THE VEHICLE IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR FIVE DAYS. INITIALLY THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NOT FOUND A CAUSE FOR THE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER IN THE VEHICLE. SUBSEQUENTLY WHEN PRESSED ON THE MATTER, THEY STATED THE CAUSE WAS A CONNECTION PROBLEM TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY. IN GOOD FAITH THE VEHICLE WAS COLLECTED BY ME AND DRIVEN WITHOUT ANY APPARENT PROBLEM FOR FOUR DAYS, PRIOR TO THE SECOND INCIDENT. THE MILEAGE DRIVEN IN THAT PERIOD WAS LESS THAN 100 MILES IN TOTAL. THIS VEHICLE POSES A SERIOUS RISK TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHER ROAD USERS.

THE BELT ACTUALLY CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TENSIONING DEVICE, WHICH RESULTED IN THEM REPLACING THE TENSIONER, AND PERFORMING THE INSTRUCTION FOR LI. THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR & SAID IT WAS FIXED. ON 4/4/19, JUST 3 DAYS AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR, IT TURNED OFF ON MY AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF US1. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP STATING THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD SHUT DOWN IN 3 MINUTES. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT ON A CONGESTED ROAD.

WHEN IDLING AT THE LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD SHUT ITSELF OFF. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON. I THEN HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR WITH THE PUSH START TO RESET IT. THEN IT'LL WORK FINE. I HAVE BEEN TO MERCEDES DEALERSHIP IN NEW ROCHELLE FOR FOUR TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY THE FIRST TIME. TWO DAYS LATER THE SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN. THEN THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME THEY GAVE ME BACK THE CAR AND SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE NO CODES POPPED UP. BOTH TIMES I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER 30 TIMES SINCE OVER 29,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND RIGHT NOW I AM IN A LOANER VEHICLE ON THE FOURTH TIME THAT I HAVE GIVEN MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION. THE INCIDENT IS DANGEROUS IN THAT ONE TIME I WAS IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT SHUT OFF ON ME. CARS GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE OF MY REACTION TIME TO PUT THE CAR ON START AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS. IN ADDITION, I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED WITH OLDER MODELS AND OTHER MODELS.

IN REGARD TO CONTINENTAL TIRES.THE WHEELS CRACK AT THE SLIGHTEST RESISTANCE. THE WHEELS CONSTANTLY NEED AIR PLACED IN THEM SOMETIMES TWICE A WEEK. IN A YEAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 12 TIRES DUE TO CRACKING AT THE SLIGHTEST IMPACT. THE WHEELS DO NOT LAST 50 MILES AFTER BEING FLAT THEY ARE DESTROYED THE MINUTE THEY HIT IMPACT. THESE ARE DANGEROUS TIRES FOR ANYONE AND THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED.

THE SEATBELTS DEPLOYED AND WRENCHED US INTO OUR SEATS AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE FRONT AIR VENTS BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. ON THE DASH THE VEHICLES STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS IN ALL 4 ZONES IN THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED AND SERVICE IS REQUIRED. MERCEDES IS STATING THAT THE LIGHT IS FROM A SEATBELT ERROR CODE BUT THE DASH DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT SRS OR SEATBELTS. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY FAMILY BACK IN THE CAR AND DO NOT FEEL IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DASH. I DO NOT KNOW HOW I CAN HIT SOMETHING THAT HARD AND NOT HAVE THEM DEPLOY. MERCEDES IS DOING AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION BUT THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN ME THE RESULTS OF THAT AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 3 WEEKS. VEHICLE WAS IN FOR A AIRBAG RECALL NOT TAKATA RELATED ON JANUARY OF 2018 AND THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.

THE PARKING BRAKE WON'T RELEASE SOMETIMES AFTER DOING EVERYTHING THAT THE MANUAL AND MERCEDES BENZ RECOMMENDS. I'VE BEEN STRANDED FOR OVER 30 MINUTES. I'VE PULLED THE BRAKE RELEASE FOR OVER 10 SECONDS AND PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND TURNED IF OFF AND ON. TWICE THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHEN DRIVING.

THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHEN IT STARTS UP AND THE PARKING BRAKE COULD NOT BE RELEASED PREVENTING THE CAR FROM MOVING. ALSO THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING. I WILL UPLOAD A PICTURE OF THIS.

TIRE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. TREAD SEPARATED FROM SIDEWALL. MAYBE RELATED TO PIRELLI RECALL 16T018000. TIRE MANUFACTURED 05-17 AND DOT CE X2 T120 AND ECE HOMOLOGATION SYMBOL IS E4 0271937.

WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING AND YOU ARE READY TO LEAVE THE CAR YOU PRESS THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, THE CAR "SOMETIMES" GOES INTO NEUTRAL NOT PARK AND STARTS MOVING WHEN YOU ARE GETTING READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, EVEN KNOWING THAT IT DOES HAVE A BUTTON FOR PARK BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFTER. IT SHOULD BY DEFAULT GO INTO PARK NOT NEUTRAL ALL MY OTHER CARS THAT ARE KEY LESS WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR IT OFF GOES BY DEFAULT TO PARK REGARDLESS OF PRESSING THE PARK BUTTON ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPRESS THIS TO MB AND THEY DON'T SEAM TO BE CONCERN ABOUT THIS, SPECIALTY WHEN WE HAVE DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN THIS HOUSEHOLD THAT ALL OF THEM GO INTO PARK.

SINCE I BOUGHT IN FEBRUARY 2017 BRAND NEW 2017 MERCEDES BENZ C300 CONVERTIBLE IN ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP I HAD TO BRING MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES FOR SERVICES LIKE, THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WOULD NOT WORK, THE MIRRORS WOULD NOT FOLD, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT ADJUST, ELECTRONICAL ISSUES LIKE CONNECTING MY CELL PHONE TO THE CAR. ( I HAD THE TOP GOT REPLACED ONLY AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR.) TODAY APRIL 27 2018 I COULD NOT START THE CAR IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK, THE DISPLAY WAS SHOWING THE KEY IS NOT DETECTED( HAD TO EXIT THE CAR COUPLE OF TIMES, WITH THE KEY AND TRY AGAIN TO START THE CAR UNTIL IT FINALLY WORKED).HAD MY TOP OPEN WHILE WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND ONCE PARKED THE TOP WOULD NOT CLOSE, AND AGAIN HAD TO EXIT THE CAR LOCK UNLOCK AN TRY AGAIN COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE IF FINALLY CLOSED. I DID RECEIVE A LETTER SAYING THAT THE CAR WAS DEFEFECTED, AND THAT THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SEET MAY NOT WORK, I'LL ATTACH THE LETTER ( BROUGHT FOR SERVICES) BUT IT'S SEEMS THAT THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS IT'S LOW, AND THE DISPLAY WOULD SHOW SOMETIMES THAT THE SEET IS NOT FIRM OR STEADY. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR TO FEEL SAFE AND DO NOT FEEL THAT WAY.

VEHICLE HAS INSUFFICIENT ELECTRICAL GROUNDING THAT CAN LEAD TO AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AIRBAG. MERCEDES REFUSES TO INFORM ME OF A DATE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED. I WAS SENT A LETTER FROM MERCEDES DATED NOVEMBER 2017 AND THE DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURE WILL NOT GIVE ME A DATE. I AM UNSURE AS I DRIVE THE AUTO THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY CAUSING AND ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO MYSELF. WHY CAN'T THE VEHICLE BE REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER? I AM NOW IN THE 5TH MONTH AND WONDERING IF I AM DRIVING A TIME BOMB.

11 MONTHS OLD CAR AND AROUND 3,000 MILES - CHECK BRAKE PAD WARNING WENT OFF. WILL TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE ISSUE.

STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTION. CAR PARKED AT GARAGE AND WHEN I WENT TO START I GOT THE MALFUNCTION MESSAGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. I CALLED MERCEDES AND THEY WILL TOW THE CAR TOMORROW. FOR A BRAND NEW 2017 MERCEDES THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL SEATBELT ISSUES WARRANTY ITEMS /ELECTRICAL NO RESPONSE FROM DEALER AFTER REPEATED EMAILS

THE CAR ENTERS LIMP MODE IN THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT LOOSES ALL THE POWER AND WARNING POPS UP AS ACTIVE BRAKE ASSIST IS INOPERATIVE, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. IF YOU MANAGE TO GLIDE THE CAR TO A STOP AND RESTART THE CAR, THE CAR STARTS TO BACK UP AS NORMAL. TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES, INTAKE AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED BUT THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NEWER MECEDES CARS WHERE THE CAR GOES INTO A SAFETY MODE WHERE THE ENGINE CUTS ALL THE POWER TURNING THE SITUATION INTO A EVEN MORE DANGEROUS SCENARIO. AS PART OF THE SAFETY MODE, IF THE CAR LOOSES ALL THE POWER, THEN THERE IS FEW THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE TO COME OUT OF IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS REPEATED OCCURENCE OF THIS PROBLEM HAS THE ABILITY TO CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT.

I HAVE LEASED A CAR FROM THE TORRANCE MBZ ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND I HAVE 12K MILEAGE ON THIS CAR. LAST WEEK I NOTICED THAT MY FRONT TIRES TREADS ARE WEARING OUT AND THEY ARE BECOMING FLAT. THEY ARE ORIGINAL TIRES. ON 11/11/17 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO ROTATE THEY SAID THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY 2 DIFFERENT SIZES SO THEY CANT ROTATE THEM THEY GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF 365.00 FOR EACH TIRES TO REPLACE. I ASKED THE ASSOCIATE OF THE DEALER WHY IS THIS HAPPENING I ONLY HAVE 12K MILES. I HAVE BEEN LEASING CARS SINCE 1997 AND NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH ANYTHING JUST NORMAL SERVICE NO TIRE PROBLEM AND THE SHOCKING THING IS THAT THE CAR HAS 12K MILES. THE MANUFACTURE FOR THE TIRES IS PIRELLI AND MY TIRE BRAND NAME IS P ZERO. I CAME HOME AND WENT TO THE PIRELLI THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL AND THEY GAVE ME A CLAIM NUMBER # [XXX] TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO GIVE ME DISCOUNT. IT WAS SHOCKING TO ME WHEN THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL. I DON'T THINK SO SPECIALLY WITH THE LOW MILEAGE IF I HAD OVER 50K THEN MAYBE. LIKE I SAID I HAVE HAD CARS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH TIRES NOR TO CHANGE ANYTHING. I AM A LITTLE TIGHT IN FINANCIAL 365.00 FOR EACH TIRES AND PLUS THE COSTS IT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR ME TO PAY. I AM FLING THIS COMPLAINT HOPING THAT YOU COULD HEAR ME AND HELP ME OUT PLEASE. THIS IS NOT FAIR SPECIALLY I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ANSWER I GOT FROM THE PIRELLI COMPANY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE WIRES TO THE OUTSIDE LIGHT FIXTURES ARE MELTING. THE EXTERIOR LIGHT BULBS ARE MELTING INTO THE SOCKETS AND THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ON 3 DIFFERENT LIGHT ASSEMBLIES: SPRING 2013, SPRING 2016 AND NOVEMBER 2017.

WINDSHIELD QUALITY DOES NOT MEET MY EXPECTATION. MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS BY A PIECE OF ROCK ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE CARE, I NOTICED THE SEAT BELT LIGHT REMAINED ON DESPITE BEING BUCKLED AND THE PASSENGER AIR WAS NOT SET DESPITE MY WIFE SITTING IN THE SEAT. I FOUND THIS ODD, CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND RESEARCHED IF THE CAR HAD A RECALL...THIS CAR DID HAVE A RECALL AND WAS SOLD WHILE IN ACTIVE RECALL STATUS. FEDERAL LAW EXPLICITLY PROHIBITS DEALERSHIPS FROM SELLING A NEW CAR IF A PENDING RECALL HASN'T BEEN PERFORMED. AS, A RESULT, I NO LONGER WANT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD UNTIL THE RECALL WAS PREPARED. BUT, MORE SO BECAUSE THE REMEDY TO REPAIR THIS CAR IS NOT UNTIL MARCH OF 2017.

TAKATA RECALL. WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A "TIMELY MANNER" FOR THE DEALER TO FIX A CAR?

TAKATA RECALL I RECIEVED THE NOTIFICATION FROM TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS AT HOME. I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T AGREE THAT MY CAR HAVE A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS.
