Takata recall" 2006 Mercedes Benz C230 I was driving home and my car started misfiring really bad, the check engine light came on and started flickering and stayed on and the lights in the car on the dash and on the radio started to flicker on and off and then the car just was limp it wouldn't even pick up speed it was slowing down on the freeway with very busy traffic . I was scared for my life and my friend that we were going to come to a complete stop in rush hour traffic . I tried to hurry home but it was would not pick up speed it keep going slower and slower and when we had to slow down or stop due to traffic it actually turned completely off twice and I was so scared that an acceident would happen it was misfiring and just a terrible experience this should be some kind of recall or something they need to look into it abc fix it before someone gets hurt or worse .

Takata recall- went in for recall srs light turned on. Dealer said it would cost 150- to find out problem, I've said isn' the srs light is the airbag unit? he said no mechanic is going work if the red light is on, unless the red light not there. So I've asked what if something happens along the way? he said sorry, then( I rescheduled in 5 days. I took car home to get srs-redligjt off. ) at honolulu, Mercedes Benz.

Was driving at 55mph and then all of a sudden my car speed dropped down to 20 mph even with my gas pedal pushed all the way down and the rpms went between 6000 to 7000. I had to put on my flashers and pull to the side of the road and then car hard shifted to park and then again into drive. Once I turned the car completely off it restarte with no issues and had car towed to the dealer.

Attempting to speed up from stop to 45 mph and rpms rose above 5000 to 6000 and car would not speed up past 35 mph. I tried flooring the accelerator but nothing happened. No response at all past 35 mph. I pulled over and turned off the car for 5 minutes. Then I started the car again and the acceleration performed as it should.

"attempting to speed up from stop to 45 mph and rpms rose above 5000 to 6000 and car would not speed up past 35 mph. I tried flooring the accelerator but nothing happened. No response at all past 35 mph". My car does not accelerate as it should. I went to a auto shop and they said I have an intake manifold problem.

Moments after exiting the freeway and reducing speed at around 35 mph my car did not accelerate and continue as it would in neutral. Family in the car panic and for my fortune light traffic on an usual busy street. The check engine light did not turn on at the moment of days after the incident. A week later without a warning the vehicle engine light turn on and lost speed in the freeway. This incident could easy cause my family and other drivers a fatal accident and preventable injuries. I have found many similar incidents describing what happen to me and its awful that nothing is being done to fix it. I will contact my local representative and senator to demand action and a formal investigation about this issue.

On Nov 27, 2013, I was in the los angeles area on highway 14 traveling around 70 mph on the highway w/ many cars and my speed dropped to around 50 mph in spite of my foot downing the accelerator to the floor. I had to turn on my emergency lights and move over to the slow lane for safety. Returning home that same day on the same freeway, the car would not accelerate or transmission would not downshift to compensate for the uphill on the freeway in spite of stepping down on the accelerator- again I had to flash my emergency lights on and move to the slow lane. There is no sensor light on the dashboard for both incidents. My mechanic reported it will be hard to diagnose the transmission problem since there is no sensor light on. On Nov 29, 2013, I traveled to las vegas and the transmission repeated the decelerating incident and failure of the accelerator to increase engine or transmission speed. This is dangerous.

I was driving home and noticed that when I would accelerate after coming to a stop the car was extremely slugglish. I would have to almost floor the gas pedal in order for the car to begin moving. I pulled over and then put the car in neuttral. The jerked violently and shifted very hard as I then tried to put it in reverse and the into park. I tried to put the car back into drive and it would not accelerate at all. I had to turn the car off and then back on again in order to get it moving. The gears continued to shift violently. However, when I finally got moving again, the car would not go over 35 mph. The car was inspected and an error code for the internal speed sensor came up, which is part of the valve body for the transmission. My car only has 59,000 miles on it. Mercedes is very aware of this problem on 2006-2007 C230 models! in fact, they are having a dispute with the manufacturer of the valve body because it is poor quality and defective. I have seen numerous other complaints related to this issue. My local mercedes dealership quoted me $2,400 to repair this defective part. I was lucky in that I was not driving at 60 mph on the highway when this malfunction occurred. This is an extremely dangerous issue and a recall should be issued for this part.

While driving the vehicle, the check engine light began to flash rapidly, the engine began to run extremely rough, had little power, and was no longer drivable. Luckily, this happened on a surface street and not on the freeway where, I believe, it could have resulted in harm to me or other drivers. The problem was caused by a defective plastic bushing in the intake manifold which broke and was sucked into valve #4 which then burned the valve. At the time of the incident, the vehicle had approximately 84,000 miles on it. I was informed by the mechanic who performed the repair on my vehicle that their mb parts supplier stated that mb is aware of this defective plastic bushing. However, the parts supplier was apparently not personally aware of it causing the type of extensive damage I experienced. Mb refuses to acknowledge, at least to me, that they are aware of past instances involving this defective plastic bushing or to even consider that it is a problem that they should take responsibility for before it results in harm. I hope someone will take this problem seriously and investigate its potential for harm.

2006 mercedes C230, loss of power and acceleration. First time it happened when the mileage was 62k. I was driving on shennandoah valley then suddenly the acceleration and engine power keep decreasing though my foot was completely pressing on gas pedal. I decided to full-over to cool down the engine. After re-starting it, the problem went away for awhile and back to normal driving condition. Then it happened again when my car had 65k miles, I experienced the same problem but this time from a complete stop from traffic light, when I tried to accelerates. . The car was no acceleration at all though the pedal was completely to the metal. This will be a very bad situation when all of a sudden it will not accelerate to normal running condition, when I needed to enter the highway to merge to a fast moving traffic.

The contact owns a 2006 Mercedes Benz C230. The contact was driving 50 mph when the check engine warning light illuminated and the engine started sputtering. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the mechanic confirmed that the balance shaft needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 1,300.

Bought this car with 38000 on it. The get up and go seemed sluggish but mechanic said it checked out. Had some major issues. Car would barely go, went directly to mercedes dealership. Dealer said fuel pump was out $793. Also said I needed to service the transmission, $350. They also said I had a much greater problem. A balance shaft inside the motor and quoted me $4600. The car now has 55,000 miles on it. The warranty was for 4 years or 50,000. The car is one year or 5,000 miles out of warranty. It is hard understand why this type of catastrophic failure is occurring so soon after the warranty is up. I checked this out online and it seems like I'm far from the first owner to have this problem. I saw a lawsuit, too bad I don't know how to participate. I'm really disappointed that mercedes isn't doing the right thing on its own. Please help!.

Having problem with the gear shifting, believe this is caused by the shaft balancer, etc. The car grabs and jerks from time to time making me unsure of the safety of my car. My car only has 84,000 miles on it. The car is like new, but as I read the class act against mercedes I noticed that my car has several of the same issues as others listed in the complaint. The interior and exterior of my car is in excellent condition, and I can't believe that the mercedes company would allow an error like this to continue. I would like for this to be corrected by mercedes or to be placed on the class act suit as well.

The failure in this case is the replacement of the counter balance shaft on a 2006 C230 Mercedes Benz with less than 100,000 miles. I've read that many of these failures have occurred and the reason for failure was due to the shaft not having proper hardening. I've also read the Mercedes Benz is aware of this problem. The cost of the repair is about $4500 on a vehicle that the warranty goes out in 4 years or 50,000 miles. All services to this vehicle have been done as required, but not through the dealership. Information I've read about this problem states that there's nothing I could have done to keep this from happening and that it's happening to many, many vehicles. I believe if this is happening frequently that the manufacture should be responsible for the costs associated with this type of repair. Thank you for your time and consideration.
