I was driving on the I-95 at 60 mph and turned on my air conditioner when smoke began to come out of the vents. I shut off the air conditioner and the smoke stopped. I visited with my parents and as I started the car and it was idling, I turned on the air conditioner and smoke began to come from the vents again and flames appeared under the dashboard. I was able to put out the fire and pulled the fuse box cover off and found the fuse box was where the fire had started. There was a paper with fuse sizes and locations put (by mercedes) in between the fuses which had been singed, and part of the fuse box and some of the fuses had melted. I did an internet search and found a complaint on a mercedes forum where this had happened to another 2004 mercedes C230.

I replaced the tires once and the battery numerous times. I paid $6,500. 00 for a car I can't even drive.

I bought the C230 at one year old. I had e perienced two times thatwhile freeway driving all power would be lost. Pulled over and put in park, rev engine a bit but rpm's would not move. Fast forward to December 2008 I sold car go my mom because I had a baby and car was too small. My mom since having car has lost power while freeway driving a total of six times now. Very dangerous as there is no "code" or "error" for mechanic when diagnosing, nor is benz ackowleding ghe issue.

Wiper, locks, tailgate, instrument panel and windows all malfunctioned at the same time. The problem has been intermittent, therefore, I am afraid to roll windows down or lock the vehicle.

The sam system failed and car would not start !it took months to be diagnosed by 3 different mechanics! the message said quite often that the air bags have been deployed !the dealer could not determine the issue! there have been various recalls on the takata air bags stating my C230 2005 kompressor is included in the recall over the last few years and when I put in the VIN it says my car is not included! my mechanic said I should take it to the dealer before someone is killed. All I want now is to have these airbags replaced! thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Balance shaft is bad mercedes wants $5833 to fix it now they have a class action lawsuit against them for that they should have to pay the whole amount to fix it as I looked for recall I found the problem for my gas tank that should have been recalled to if you fill the car up you can smell gas need help to fix this.

I've had this problem several times where I put in the car key to start the car, yes it starts up but the gas guage ,speedometer, and the rest on the dash go to all the way down and don't move, then my check engine light turns on. Sometimes the car doesn't start as well . I've gone to the dealership to buy a new key thinking it was the key but still the same problem. I saw that most of the c class has been recalled for the same issues I'm having but they didn't recall the C230. I believe you guys should do better investigation next time because I dont think I should have to pay to repair something that came defective. Also I've noticed that the 2006 c class also has a recall for the airbag wich I've has the esn or esp letters popping up on NY dashboard stateting something about the airbag yet my vehicle isn't eligible for that recall as well and I ask myself why? if they same problems I'm having are exactly the same I'm having with the recalled vehicle.

I have a 2004 Mercedes Benz C230. The alarm sounds continuously while driving down the road. When this happens, the key will not disable it. The dealership says there is not a problem with mercedes but I seem to find lots of complaints on internet blogs regarding other customers having the same problem. What is our right as a consumer? should there be a recall to get this corrected?.

First, my steering wheel wire was replaced from a faulty srs light coming on and the esp light coming on. I had to pay for all of this. Next, euromotor cars said the steering wheel collar was broke. I have never had that fixed because they wanted to charge me and I felt they should replace the collar since they replaced the steering wire. Now my car does not start and the instrument cluster does not light up. I cannot unlock the doors with the remote key and I cannot unlock the trunk of the car. My car just sits because I feel I should not have to pay for any of this any more. I have put $6,800 in repairs in this car. I do not want to pay for another vehicle. I feel my car is unsafe. My car was first serviced at herb gordon's auto group in silver spring, maryland. I was not happy with the service so I decided to try euromotors and the service was worse. They continue to put in codes so there will not be a recall and the consumer has to pay out of pocket. Please help in resolving some of the issues I have had with this 2005 C230 kompressor Mercedes Benz. I would also like for this car to be entered into the recall for the steering wire repair just as the e320. I purchased the car with 4,000 miles on it in 10/2005. Thank you.

I've been unable to read my mileage for many years now. I have a 2000 C230. Took the car to the dealer and was told the cluster had to be replaced @ around $1000. 00. Found this to be unacceptable since the car at the time was only 5 years old. It's a shame Mercedes Benz doesn't recall this problem.
