2010 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 Complaints

INSIDE DOOR HANDLES SHOULD BE RECELLED DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD I GOT TRAPPED IN MY CAR AND EVERYONE HAS SAME ISSUE ITS A $1600 FIX AND HAVE TO REPLACE DOOR PANEL

A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO MY DRIVER SIDE INNER PARKING LIGHT BULB FAILED, AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE INNER PARKING LIGHT BULB FAILED AS WELL. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE THEM, THE BULB AND HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY SHOWED VISIBLE DAMAGE FROM WHERE IT APPEARED AS IF BOTH BULBS CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MELTED INTO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, PERMANENTLY DAMAGING BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THERE WAS THE PRESENCE OF CHARRING ON THE BULB SOCKET AS WELL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. IF IT WERE MERELY ONE BULB THAT FAILED IN THIS MANNER, I WOULD HAVE CHALKED IT UP TO MAYBE A FAULTY BULB OR SOCKET, BUT IT IS VERY ODD THAT IT OCCURRED ON BOTH INNER PARKING LIGHT ASSEMBLY. FORTUNATELY

I DROVE MY 2010 C300 TO AN APPOINTMENT 2 MILES AWAY AND WENT TO START THE CAR AFTER AN APPOINTMENT AND IT WOULD NOT START...TRIED HAVING IT JUMPED BUT IT DIDN'T WORK...HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS AN ELECTRINIC STEERING MALFUNCTION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1460...THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL IT JIST STOPPED WORKING...UNACCEPTABLE AND FROM WHAT I HABE LEARNED THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL.

2010 MERCEDES C300 HAS 57000 MILES. DROVE IT 2 MILES IN THE MORNING TO GET GONTO AN APPT AND THE THE CAR WOULD NOT START...THOUGHT MAYBE THE BATTERY BUT WHEN THE JUMP DIDNT WORK I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUM THAT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1460...NO OTHER INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG...JUST STOPPED WORKING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL...NEVER GETRING ANOTHER MERCEDES.

BAD ESL CAR COMPLETELY LOCKED NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WAS STRANDED 30 MIN FROM HOME PAYED TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THE CAR THAT REALLY SUCKED.

THE AUTO LOCK WOULD RANDOMLY UNLOCK AND LOCK AT THE WRONG TIME CAUSING THE DOOR HANDLE TO NOT BE RESPONSIVE ANYMORE.. MERCEDES CHARGED 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX HIS WHEN IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX MY DOOR WHICH MAKES ME THINK IF I GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WHAT WOULD I DO?

THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. IT CAUSES THE CAR NOT TO START AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT ITS ACTUALLY SOMETHING MUCH MORE SERIOUS AND EXPENSIVE.
