"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR USED IN JANUARY 2017 WITH AN OPEN RECALL FROM JANUARY 2016, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND MERCEDES BENZ OF WALNUT CREEK HAS STATED THEY WILL CONTACT ME WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I WORRY CONSTANTLY ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT TAKES ALMOST 2 YEARS TO REPLACE AN ITEM THAT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE MY DEATH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

STRONG RAW FUEL ODOR WAS NOTICED AFTER FILL UP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT BOTH THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING AND THE FUEL SENDER HOUSINGS WERE CRACKED ALLOWING RAW FUEL TO LEAK OUT. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE E CLASS RECALL. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE C CLASS AS WELL AS THIS CAR HAS AN IDENTICAL FAILURE MODE. I FOUND THIS ISSUE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, AND WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THIS NOTED ISSUE. FOR MANY MONTHS HAVE NOTICED STRONG FUEL SMELL FROM LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL. MB DEALER CONFIRMS ABOVE SIMILAR DIAGNOSIS AND APPROXIMATELY 1K REPAIR COST, GAS IS LEAKING OUT AND POOLING ON TOP OF SENDER UNIT.

EVER SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED MY MERCEDES BENZ C230- 2007 MODEL, I HAVE BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINING IT AS PER MERCEDES RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED AN UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION ISSUE IN MY CAR. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR A FEW MINUTES. ONLY AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE ACCELERATION IMPROVED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE THREE TIMES NOW AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE ON NHTSA.DOT.GOV, BENZWORLD.ORG AND A FEW OTHER BLOG SITES WHERE NUMEROUS MERCEDES C230 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS THAT IF THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY RELATED ISSUE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO MERCEDES BENZ USA, LLC. SEVERAL TIMES, WHY HAS MERCEDES BENZ NOT INITIATED A RECALL. I HOPE THE COMPANY IS NOT WAITING FOR A DISASTER TO HAPPEN. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA COULD PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 MERCEDES BENZ C230 AT 30MPH AND IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS BUT THE RPM WOULD GO UP. I NOTICE 2 WEEKS BEFORE WHEN I WANTED ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER THEN 30MPH AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WOULD SPEED. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL THE LAST INCIDENT WHERE IT JUST STOPPED. I HAD A FEW PEOPLE CHECKED AND THEY BELIEVE IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I WENT ONLINE TO CHECK AND SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AND IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET. MERCEDES BENZ SUPPOSE TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT'S MANUFACTURED MISTAKES. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 MERCEDES C230 IN APPROXIMATELY FEBRUARY 2011 FROM CARMAX IN ROSEVILLE, CA. WITHIN SIX WEEKS, I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL FREEWAY WHEN I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER YET THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING A OVER 4000 RPM. I RETURNED TO THE CARMAX DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE ENGINE PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH REPEATED ITSELF INTERMITTENTLY IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS. IN DECEMBER 2011, I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MERCEDES SPECIALIST FOR A SERVICE B; UPON EXAMINATION, THE SPECIALIST ADVISED ME THAT THE CAR HAD NOT RECEIVED A 60,000 MILE SERVICE B, INCLUDING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, AND ASKED IF THE CAR HAD EXHIBITED THE POWER LOSS AND HIGH RPM. THE SPECIALIST INFORMED ME THAT A MERCEDES SERVICE BULLETIN ADVISED OF AN INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE METAL MATERIAL OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ORIGINAL FACTORY FLUID, WHICH CAUSES A SHEARING PROBLEM AND BUILD UP ON THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING SENSORS. THE SPECIALIST RECOMMENDED AND PERFORMED A SERVICE OF FLUSHING & REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH A NEWLY FORMULATED, MERCEDES RECOMMENDED FLUID. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SERVICE AND FLUID REPLACEMENT, THERE WERE FEWER INCIDENTS OF POWER LOSS. IN RECENT WEEKS, SIX MONTHS AFTER THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE, THE ISSUE OF POWER LOSS HAS RE-OCCURRED FREQUENTLY, MULTIPLE TIMES PER WEEK, MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY, MANY TIMES ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS OF 55-65 MPH, REQUIRING ME TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY TO TURN OFF THE CAR AN ALLOW TO RESET BEFORE RE-ENTERING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THIS LOSS OF POWER AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. *TR

WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. AFTER I FILLED IT UP, THERE IS STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE GARAGE. PARKED THE CAR OUTSIDE AND IT STILL HAS SMELL. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES BENZ C280? UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THERE WAS EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MERCEDES TO COVER E CLASS AND CLS CLASS FUEL ODOR ONLY. WHAT ABOUT THE C CLASS CARS? DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR SHOULD BE PERFORMING. BY THE WAY, THE CAR IS 2007 WITH 102K MILES. I BELIEVE MERCEDES SHOULD ALSO COVER C CLASS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM,
