2009 MERCEDES-BENZ C350 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED. TANAKA SHOULD BY MY LOAN.

TAKATA RECALLS, THE VEHICLE STEERING LOCK MODULE GAVE OUT AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS STOP SELLING THE PARTS FOR THIS DUE TO THIS CURRENT UNRESOLVED RECALL HAVING CUSTOMER GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE WHICH IS UNFAIR DUE TO EXTRA COST SO MY VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AT ALL.

AFTER PARKING CAR AT WORK WHEN I WENT TO STAR VEHICLE IT WILL NIT START OR TURN OVER.THE CAR IS UNDER 80K MILES THIS IS UNACCEPTABLY DISTURBING FOR THISNPROBLEM TO OCCUR WHEN I ONLY DRIVE TO WORK AND HOME DMH THERE SHOULD BE A DISCOUNT FOR THUS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MERCEDES BENZ C350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V363000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

SECOND WARNING REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL WIRING REGARDING THE FRONT HEAD LAMPS. THE WIRING IS BURNING UP AND IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE WITH DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. THIS CAR HAS HAD A RECALL BEFORE REGARDING THE WIRING OF THE BACK STOP LIGHTS, IF NOTHING IS DONE THERE WILL BE A FIRE. THE SEAT (FRONT) COVERING IS PEELING OFF, CO. SAYS ITS NORMAL. THIS IS MY 2ND REPORT AND THE SMOKE IS GETTING HEAVIER ALL THE TIME AND IT IS AFFECTING THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PICKING UP CHILDREN WITH MY WIFE. VERY DIFFICULT TO GET PHOTO, BUT IS VISIBLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS. THERE HAS BEEN NO FIRE YET BUT THERE IS SMOKE.

TAKATA RECALL - NO REMEDY IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE A LONG COMMUTE AND EVERY DAY I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE, MY APPEARANCE, AND MY EYES AND OTHER SENSES BEING DAMAGED BY FLYING SHRAPNEL. I AM AN EMOTIONAL WRECK AND WANT THIS REMEDIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY WITH HOW DANGEROUS THE ROADS AND DRIVERS ARE ON MY COMMUTE. PLEASE FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'D RATHER HAVE NO AIRBAG THAN THIS "TIME BOMB OF SHRAPNEL" WAITING TO GO OFF! HOW COME OTHER CAR COMPANIES ARE REPLACING THE AIRBAGS, BUT NOT MERCEDES?

THE WIRING TO THE HEAD LAMBS (BOTH) ARE BURNING UP, CAUSING A BURNT SMELL IN THE CAR, COMPANY SAYS TO BUY NEW HEAD LAMPS. THE ELECTRIC WIRE SYSTEM IN THE CAR HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE BEGINNING. EVIDENTLY THE HEAT IN THE MOTOR AREA IS TO MUCH FOR THE QUALITY OF THE WIRING COVERS AND THEY CAUSE LAMP BURN OUT,AND BURN THE PLASTIC WIRE COVERING. CAR IS USED FOR PLEASURE HAS VERY FEW MILES. VERY HARD TO TAKE A PICTURE , TECH HAD A HARD TIME GETTING TO IT.

TAKATA RECALL. MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A FRONT END COLLISION AT AN ESTIMATED 50 MPH.

GOT HOME FROM WORK PARKED MY CAR, I WOULD SAY MAYBE ABOUT 3 HRS LATER I GET ON MY CAR TO GO PICK UP MY SON AND I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN MY CAR ON. MY KEYFOB WORKED FINE WHEN I UNLOCKED AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I WOULD INSERT THE KEYFOB IN THE IGNITION I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION. ALL THOUGH IT TURNED IN THE IGNITION IT WOULDN'T GIVE THE CAR A CRANK OR ANY POWER AT ALL, THE RADIO, WINDOWS DASHBOARD, HEADLIGHTS, NOTHING WORKED AT ALL, IT WOULDN'T EVEN UNLCOCK MY STEERING COLOUMN EITHER. WHICH MADE IT EVEN A BIGGER HASTLE TO TOW THE CAR WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LUCKILY II LEFT THE WHEELS STRAIGHT WHEN I PARKED MY VEHICLE. I'VE SEEN THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON ON THIS MERCEDES MODEL. IF ITS A COMMON PROBLEM MERCEDES SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECALL THIS IGNITION FAULT. THERES PLENTY OF REASONS WHY IT CAN BE A STRESSING SITUATION IF IT HAPPENS TO ANYBODY, ESPECIALLY NOT BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK THJE STEERING COLUMN. THERE CAN BE PLENTY OF WHAT IF'S (WHAT IF, U HAD UR WHEELS TURNED, WHAT IF YOUR FAR FROM HOME, UR PARKED IN A TIGHT SPACE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE CAR TOWED, YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND YOUR CAR SUDDENLY WONT START, AT A GAS STATION PUMPING GAS AND YOUR CAR WONT START, EVEN AFTER JUST HAVING DINNER AT A RESTAURANT) IMAGINE HAVING AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AND YOU ARE WITH YPUR FAMILY ITS VERY STRESSFUL OR EVERYBODY. I'M SURE ITS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT THEY DONT FILE A COMPLAINT OR MAYBE THEY DONT KNOW THEY CAN FILE ONE. I JUST HOPE MERCEDES CAN REALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE IS VERY COMMON ON THIS MODEL 2009 MERCEDES C350.
