1 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz C230

Failure Date: 01/08/2016

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.

I was driving about 60 mph suddenly my car was jerking and shaking the speed started to decrease and the car suddenly turned off I was able to pull over to the side of the road and I had to turn the key to start it the engine light turned on and I was able to drive off like regular. The next day I was on the freeway exiting I was going like 40 mph when I decreased my speed to stop and make a turn my rpm was at high 4-5 and my speed was 20mph I had to step on the pedal all the way just to get to 20 mph.

5 Exterior Lighting problem of the 1999 Mercedes Benz C230

Failure Date: 06/01/2000

1999 Mercedes Benz C230 instrument panel lights have gone out. I have not had this problem repaired due to the cost estimate quoted to me by the mb dealership. Instrument panel lights went out 2 weeks after vehicle warranty expired. Another problem probably associated with the electrical system is that I have had to replace headlamps, interior lamps, backup lamps (ie light bulbs) on a continual basis. At least every other month I have a warning light come on that I have lamp out. Presently I have to replace the backup lamps but have not done so. Just replaced a left headlamp two weeks ago. This has been ongoing since my mother purchased the car new in August of 1999. She gifted the mb to me and I have been the only driver since 2001 and it is a one owner mb (two family members).
