My first incidence was driving and the steering would all of a sudden get stiff like it needed power steering fluid or something. Check it wasn't the fluid (this happened a few month ago I thought hmmm probably just something freaky) then 1/8/16 riding down the busy interstate highway the car acceleration just left. I pressed the accelerator to the floor but no speed. It was extremely scary. I had the car checked out. . . It's the classic problem I never heard of until today. ( intake manifold tumble flap) some plastic junk on an expensive car. If I wanted a junk car I would've went to the "junk yard" paid like 250. And be done with it. I'm very disappointed and angry. I'm glad my kids wasn't in the car and it wasn't a horrific outcome. Now I can't do anything with the car right now because it's expensive to repair for such a cheap piece that shouldn't have never been on it and because #1 I'm on a fixed income #2 I still have to pay for it. But what does mb care about that. . . . Its just a product to them, a money maker.
Hello there, this is my vehicle information 2006 Mercedes Benz C230 sport VIN : wdbrf52h46f752584 and this is the NHTSA recall number : 16v081 manufacturer recall number : 2018030001 I have started a research after I have experienced too many issues with electrical wiring & headlamps, tailgate lights, stop lights, parking lights and the malfunction on the horn which has stopped working since 2/2/2019. I have also being pulled over by police officers stating that the malfunction on my tail gate lights and stop / brake lights and also headlamps must be repaired ASAP, I did bought new bulbs and replaced the old bulbs on both low beam headlamps and brake/ stop & parking lights but they only work well for a few days but then they just stop working or work intermittently . . . . I have received a traffic violation ticket on 12/28/2018 after several pulled over from the same police department officers as they do not believe that I indeed have replaced the bulbs aforementioned ( I have attached the receipt for that violation ). The issue that worries me the most is the honk failure and the driver passenger airbag recall, those are a very sensitive safety matter and I please want to get help to get this fix. I have already contact 2 Mercedes Benz dealerships here in California ( downtown la motors & rusnak Mercedes Benz of arcadia, CA ). . . . At this time I haven't received any reply to my calls and emails, and I am really worry about it because this is the only vehicle I have and drive to commute to work and to pleasure on weekends when I take with me my 10 years old son, and that is the part that worries me the most, I do not want to risk my son in an event of a frontal crash with the airbags failure, that can cause the airbag to explode with shatter debris that can seriously injure my son and myself and even cause death. . . Please help me to get this repairs done.
