THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE MENTIONED ABOVE. THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND THE REAR CAMERA DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN REGARDING THE REAR CAMERA. THE C-CLASS IS DESIGNED IN SUCH WAY THAT YOU DEPEND ON THE CAMERA WHEN REVERSING AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE REAR VIEW WHEN BACKING AND LOOKING FROM ALL ANGLES. I CALLED YOUR HQ IN MARYLAND FOR ASSISTANCE, THEY WERE UNAWARE OF POTENTIAL REPORTED PROBLEMS. THEIR BEST ANSWER WAS TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM NEW COUNTRY MOTOR CARS MERCEDES BENZ OF HARTFORD, CT STATING THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND ITS VERY UNLIKELY THAT IT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECENT RECALL REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL, AND RETELLING MY STORY TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR HELDER CRESPO, HE TOLD ME THAT THEIR RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE MAKE AND THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT BEEN THREE WEEKS, I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM MB OR DEALERSHIP. I AM QUIET APPALLED BY THIS MATTER AND SHOCKED BY THE IMPROPER COMMUNICATION FROM MB TO THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. IS THIS 'THE BEST OF NOTHING' CUSTOMER RELATION?! I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED HOW THIS MATTER IS BEING HANDLED AND THAT NOT EVEN ONE SINGLE PERSON WHO KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE DID NOT EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCES THAT THIS HAD CASED ME.

I HAVE A 2015 MERCEDES BENZ C300. I HAVE NOT EVEN OWNED THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD A WHOLE LIST OF PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT BEING RESOLVED. THE STEREO QUIT WORKING, THE BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK, THE AC WORKS ON AND OFF, AND MY HANDS FREE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS ALL HAPPENED ONE DAY WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR TO LEAVE WORK. THE STEREO WAS FROZEN AND IT HAS STUCK LIKE THAT. MERCEDES HAS NOT SENT OUT A RECALL OR ANY NOTIFICATION AT ALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT IT BACK WITH NO IDEA OF WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED.

DONT KNOW WHICH CATEGORY IT FALLS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN AUGUST 2015. IN ONE WEEK IT WOULD NOT START EVEN. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID, THE GROUNDING SCREW WAS LOOSE. I AM SO SURPRISED THAT A CAR COMES OUT FROM FACTORY WITH A LOOSE GROUNDING ISSUE. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE CAR JUST STALLED AT THE SIGNAL. ALL LIGHTS CAME UP. I HAD THE ECO START/STOP MODE ON. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND FINALLY I SHUT THE ECO START/STOP MODE DOWN. IT IS SO DANGEROUS THAT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHEN PEOPLE ARE READY TO DRIVE ON CHANGE OF SIGNAL, THE CAR WONT MOVE, PEOPLE ARE HONKING AND FRUSTRATED AND I AM TOO. LOOKED ONLINE AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING THE SAME. THE WHOLE OF DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP LIKE WHEN A CAR STALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. ANYBODY WAITING BEHIND YOU CAN TAKE THE PEDAL FROM THE BRAKE AND SMASH INTO YOU. SIMILARLY, FOR LAST 2 MONTHS, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A JUMPING NATURE WHEN YOU TAKE LEG OF THE BRAKE AT THE SIGNAL. THAT SCARES ME AS WELL. FROM THE FEEL OF IT, I FEEL THIS IS PRIMARILY A SOFTWARE ISSUE WHERE THE COMPUTER THINKS IT IS IN SOME MODE WHEN IT IS NOT OR SOMETHING AND SHUTS EVERYTHING DOWN AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE OR SOMETHING

LACK OF HANDS-FREE TELEPHONY MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE.

THE VEHICLE'S COLLISION PREVENTION ASSISTANT PLUS OPTION OFTEN DISPLAYS DURING DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND PREVENTS YOU FROM ACCELERATING REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAPPENS FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND OCCURS WHILE IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING, USUALLY WITHIN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS WHEN IT OCCURS IS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, SHUT THE CAR DOWN, AND RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW MINUTES. MY CAR WAS SERVICED ON 1/13/18 AND WHEN TESTED, NO EVIDENCE OF THIS WAS FOUND. SINCE THEN, THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENED ON 1/14 AND AGAIN TODAY 1/15. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE CATASTROPHIC. I'VE ADVISED THE DEALER THIS NEEDS TO BE SERVICED AND FIXED, OTHERWISE WE WILL BE ASKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE LEASE. I AM VERY FEARFUL TO DRIVE THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN.

ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLS AFTER SITTING AT RED LIGHT/OR WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ALL WARNING/DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND YOU CAN ONLY START THE CAR BY PUTTING IT IN PARK, THEN PUSHING START. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES. DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND CODE OR REPLICATE THE ISSUE. INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE IT IS AN ISSUE AND OTHER MAKES AND MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT WITHOUT A CODE THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD, AND THAT'S WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.
