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. HOWEVER, I READ FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES THAT THIS HAPPEN OFTEN WITH THE MERCEDES'S PANORAMIC ROOF. LUCKY FOR ME, MY FAMILY WAS NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME.

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.

I HAD AN INJURY IN THE MILITARY AND IT LEFT ME WITH SOME FORM OF TBI. THE CHEMICALS IN THE CAR FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE TO THE TIME OF SELL LEFT ME WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF AMNESIA AND AT TIMES PAIN THROUGHOUT THE BODY, ITS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S EASILY REMEDIED. THE TIMES FROM THE CHEMICALS IN THE VEHICLE ALWAYS CAUSED A PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

ON 7/30/18 I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AFTER THE COOLANT MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING, AND THERE WAS NO AC. I WAITED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE MORE THAN 3 HOURS. I WAS INFORMED OF THE INCORRECT POSITIONING OF THE ALTERNATOR FROM MANUFACTURING, WHICH RESULTED IN MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON CLUSTER. THEY FOUND THE ENGINE BELT FELL OFF & REPLACED THE V-BELT. THEY PERFORMED LI13.22-P-060187, AND RELEASED STRESS OF ALTERNATOR AND CORRECTED TORQUE. THEY ALSO WORKED ON A CAMPAIGN/RECALL (#2018070005) I HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF. ON 3/15/19 DURING THE SCHEDULED 20K SERVICE, THEY TESTED BATTERY TEST CODE WITH CABIN FILTERS WIPERS AND BRAKE FLUID SERVICE AND PERFORMED A VEHICLE INSPECTION. ON 3/19/19, 4 DAYS AFTER THE SCHEDULED 20K SERVICE, I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF US1 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE COOLANT LIGHT CAME AGAIN. THANKFULLY, I SAFELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT AFTER THE CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE REPORT SHOWED A WEAK CRANK & BATTERY MESSAGE ON THE CLUSTER DISPLAY. THEY TESTED THE BATTERY AND FOUND CODE HR250BT-DAD4LFB STATING, 'REPLACE BATTERY'. THEY REMOVED A0019820208 DATE 45/16 AND INSTALLED A0019829108 DATE 03/18. THE DRIVE BELT HAD COME OFF THE DRIVE SYSTEM & FOUND LI13.22-P-060187, WHICH STATED THEY NEEDED TO PERFORM AN ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE OF THE ALTERNATOR AND INSTALLED A NEW BELT FOR THE 2ND TIME. 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.
Power train, Apr 18, 2019
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.

THESE ARE DANGEROUS TIRES FOR ANYONE AND THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED.

I HIT A BEAR IN MONTANA IN MY 2017 MERCEDES C300 AT 86MPH AND DESTROYED THE FRONT OF MY CAR. 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 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.

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.
