2010 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 Complaints

SMELL IN CAR GAVE ME A SEVERE HEADACHE ALONG WITH NAUSEA AND CHEST PAINS. THERE?S BEEN A NOXIOUS ODOR IN THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS. NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. MY GRANDCHILDREN HAVE PASSED OUT IN THE CAR FROM IT AND IT IS CAUSING ME MIGRAINES AND OTHER ISSUES. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR. I NEED A SOLUTION.

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MERCEDES BENZ FOR A REAR TAIL LIGHT RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOTE: THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING PRIOR TO ME DROPPING MY VEHICLE OFF TO THE DEALER. I INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE DROVE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE MECHANIC. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD ME GO TO WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS ON A LIFT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE ON MY VEHICLE RUSTED (METAL LINE) OUT CAUSING THE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT. ALSO, THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SENSOR WENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE BACK OR FORWARD. IN A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT I FILED TODAY, I INADVERTENTLY PUT THE WRONG VIN NUMBER IN MY COMPLAINT. THE CORRECT VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT NUMBER IS [XXX]. MY APOLOGIES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL , I'VE REACHED OUT TO MB DEALER IN BEVERLY HILLS WHERE MY CAR WAS PURCHASED AND I KEPT GETTING THE SAME ANSWER - THE REPLACEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE. MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED OUTSIDE EXPOSED IN THE HEAT AND I USE IT TO COMMUTE FROM LOS ANGELES TO IRVINE AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A WEEK. I REALLY WOULD LIKE MY AIRBAG REPLACED. THE LAST LETTER THAT I RECEIVED FROM MERCEDES BENZ NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WILL BE FIXED BY MARCH OF 2018 AND YET ITS 3 MONTHS HAVE GONE BY NO ONE CONTACTS ME . WHERE CAN I GO FOR THIS FIXED?

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND STILL DID NOT START. MERCEDES BENZ DEALER STATED THAT IT NEEDS AN ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES BENZ SEDANS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

TAKATA RECALL......WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BE AVAILABLE?????IT HAS GONE FROM APRIL NOW TO JUNE I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING AT ALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR!!!!!!!! I WANT TO SUE......
