MY MERCEDES BENZ C-300 4MATIC GOT RAIN WATER ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL. THE CAR WAS PARKED ON THE STREET AND ALL THE WINDOWS WAS UP. THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IN THE FRONT UNDER THE DASHBOARD WAS SOAKING WET FROM RAIN WATER. I DO NOT KNOW HOW THE WATER GOT INSIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING IT AFTER A RAIN STORM AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON ALL THE NEEDLE HANDS WENT DOWN TO ZERO, IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS TRYING TO RESTARTING ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CAR IS NOW AT MERCEDES BENZ NOVI MICHIGAN NOW. I STILL OWE MONEY ON THIS CAR I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH MERCEDES BENZ. I READ SOMEWHERE ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING WATER COMING INSIDE OF THE MERCEDES.

I WENT TO AN AUTHORIZED MB DEALER AND THEY DID THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING COLUMN BUT NOT FOR THE AIR BAGS. I ALSO BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE DUE TO THE FACT THAT OIL HAS SIPHONED ITS WAY UP THE CAM MAGNETS AND SOLENOIDS THRU THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS TO THE MAIN FUEL COMPUTER AND HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE OUT OF TIMING. ACCORDING TO YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP'S TECH THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH RECALLS FOR OTHER ENGINES BUT IS STILL HAPPENING ON NUMEROUS MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES.
