My radio completely turned off & the whole colonization system is shut down. I cannot control anything like changing the time or lights in my car & I have no working screen. The screen is completely black & nothing turns on or works. It randomly turned off one day & hasn’t come back on. I took it to the dealership & they want me to pay $2,500 to get it fixed. I did not cause this issue, the car itself caused this. I do not think I should have to pay for something I did not cause.

We received a recall notice advising that the stationary roof panel located between the windshield and sunroof was not bonded correctly and could full detach from the vehicle. while driving on the freeway I heard a wind noise coming from the roof and then without warning the roof panel flew off the vehicle onto the freeway lanes. The piece was not recovered due to the danger of stopping on freeway. This posed an immediate safety threat to us and other drivers. When I contacted Mercedes (both local dealer and MBUSA) I was told they would not honor the recall since it is still in pending not open. Nowhere is a time frame listed on recall and I did confirm with local MB they have the parts needed to replace this piece. MB only option was we have to pay for the repair (apprx $1500-1900) and "possibly" receive a reimbursement. The letter specifically states free of charge to complete this recall. I was given a possible time the recall goes to open in Aug or Oct, but no guaranty. As of now my vehicle has an open roof section.

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY ON 1/22/2021 THE CAR'S DASHBOARD DISPLAYED "COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS INOPERATIVE " AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT PREVENTED ME FROM ACCELERATING THE CAR BY PUSHING ONTO THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAUSED THE CAR FROM BEHIND TO ALMOST REAR ENDED BY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY AND EXIT THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR BUT IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE EVEN AFTER VARIOUS PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

MY 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 AFTER UNDERGOING THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE VIA THE MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE PUBLIC ROAD LOST POWER, THE LOST OF POWER WITH NO WARNING TO ME OR ANY OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME, THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 45 MPH TO 10 MPH THIS WAS DUE TO A DECENTIGRATING PISTON, THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE ADVERTISED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD CUT POWER TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM CAUSING IT SELF FURTHER DAMAGE, THIS SEEMED LIKE A GREAT SAFETY FEATURE UNTIL IT JUST HAPPEN, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, IT JUST SEEMED TO TAKE ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN, THE VEHICLES BEHIND OR ADJACENT TO ME HAD NO WARNING THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD DECREASE THE SPEED, SO I HAD TO MUSCLE THE CARE OUT OF THE SWIRLING TRAFFIC, I WAS DEVISTATED THAT MY CAR CAUSED ME SUCH FEAR AND DEALING WITH THE FACT THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE KILLED ME OR SOME ONE ELSE NEAR ME, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO HAD SERVICED THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW AND THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THE PISTON IN THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HAD DECENTAGRATED THUS CAUSING METAL SHAVINGS TO BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE ENGINE, AND I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR OF THE ENGINE. IT APPEARED THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE OR PLACED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BUT THE ONLY RESPONSE FROM MERCEDES WAS WE CHANGE OUT THESE ENGINES ALL THE TIME THEY ALWAYS BLOW ENGINES, YOU CAN CALL MERCEDES-BENZ ADVOCACY TO DISCUS THE WARRANTY FROM WHICH I NEVER RECEIVE A RESPONSE. IF THE MANUFACTURE PLACES KNOW BAD PARTS IN TO A VEHICLE AND SALES IT TO THE PUBLIC, THEN THAT MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OF THE CUSTOMERS VEHICLES EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR THRU A RECALL PROCESS.

WE HAVE A 2016 MERCEDES C-300 VEHICLE THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE STEERING COLUMN CONCERNING A LATCH BOLT. UNKNOWN IF THIS RECALL PERTAINS TO THE SAFETY CONCERN ITSELF, AFTER THIS FIX THE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FAILED AND CAUSES THIS VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND WOULD/CAN RESULT IN A CRASH. MY FAMILY WAS TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF NEARLY 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM SHUT DOWN FORCING US TO MANUALLY FORCE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THIS FAILS, IT WILL ONLY STEER STRAIGHT AHEAD, IF YOU ARE STEERING IN ANY DIRECTIONS, YOU MUST FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT OR LEFT. MERCEDES SAYS THEIR PRODUCTS OFTEN FAILS AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. EVERYONE MUST UNDERSTAND WHEN THIS FAILS THIS VEHICLE WILL ONLY STEER STRAIGHT IN THE PATH IT IS GOING, IF YOU FAIL TO CATCH THIS IN TIME, THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE ON THE PATH TO WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL IS CENTERED, IF YOU DO NOT CATCH THIS IN TIME THE FORCE OF THE VEHICLE TO STAY ON PATH IS UNCONTROLLABLE. THE COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $4300 AND MERCEDES WILL NOT WORK TO FIX THIS OR TAKE NOTES TO HOW SERIOUS THIS PROBLEM IS.
