2 Seat Belt problem of the 2004 Mercedes Benz C230

Failure Date: 04/22/2018

My daughter is 18. This was my mercedes that I handed down to her that I thought would be safe. However, the driver and passenger side seat belt buckles are not locking the seat belts properly. This is part of a recall done by mercedes. However, when I called the mercedes dealership and asked them if my car was recalled, they said that my VIN number wasn't one of the cars. I don't understand if my car is doing same thing that the recall says. There will be a heck of a lawsuit if my daughter was to get in a wreck and her seat belt malfunctioned. This is what the recall says and my daughter's vehicle is doing the same thing. . . . . . . Some seat belt buckles may have a burr on a metal component of the locking mechanism. This could prevent the seat belt from locking under certain conditions. In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury. Dealers will replace the affected seat belts. This recall is expected to begin on December 22, 2003. The mercedes-benz recall number is 2003 120006. You would think mercedes would take caution and fix this if the owner is telling them the seat belt is doing the same thing on the car that the recall says. I would like for mercedes to take full responsible and fix my vehicle at no charge. If not and something happens to my daughter, I will file a lawsuit. Period. Thanks.

8 Seat Belt problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz C230

Failure Date: 06/09/2011

On June 9, 2011 I drove to sacramento, California to visit my cousin when I got there I went to lock my doors but the lock kept jumping up and down. It finally locked after 12 attempts. I took it to the dealer and they quoted me a price of $3500. 00 to replace the regulator. The second incident occurred on July 18, 2011 with my brakes. The break warning light came on. I took it to the dealer and $795. 00 they claimed I needed for both brakes and rotors which I could not understand since 6 months prior the rotors had been replaced. I again had to have the rotors and breaks replaced in July 2012 as well as the back breaks but this time I took it to another place other than the dealer and here it is 2014 and they are still holding and the cost was $495. 00 for both front and back as well 4 new michelin tires the dealer wanted to charge me $495. 00 for the back alone. The third incident occurred in las vegas I was in heavy traffic and the car shut off. It started back right away but I had a ten hour drive to make it home and this worried me. The fourth incident was with the sunroof I went to the car wash and the wax that was used caused the sunroof to stick after it dried and later the motor went out because of multiple attempts to open the roof, the dealer quoted me a price of $5000. 00 to repair it. Last but not least the srs light came on, I took it to the dealer and I was told that the drivers seatbelt and back seatbelt on drivers side were defective and if I had an accident the air bags might not deploy and the seatbelts might not hold, this will cost me $700. 00 to have fixed. I don't have a money tree growing in my yard. Also my rear taillight kept going out and what we found was that the entire casing had caught on fire and burned. The entire unit had to be replaced. I have paid more in repairs on this cars than I paid in groceries over the pass five years.

12 Seat Belt problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz C230

Failure Date: 09/25/2007

1. Vehicle takes to Mercedes Benz dealership on 8/31/07 for seat belt malfunction. Seat belt self-arresting. Mercedes benz inspects and determines "seat belt functioning properly". 2. Vehicle in a rear collision on 9/25/07 and seat belts do not arrest. Driver (self) hits the steering wheel at right brow and lower back injury appears within 2 weeks of accident. 3. Safety complaint registered with mercedes (after much pressure). Mercedes inspects in front of me by yanking the belt and says the seat belt is functioning properly. The seat belt does arrest when yanked, but did not arrest when rear ended. 4. Question: does mercedes have an obligation to further inspect the safety of the seat belt besides "yanking" it in front of me? should the seat belt be replaced? mercedes refuses to go any further and my statue of limitations - 2 years is almost running out. How can I make sure I am driving a safe vehicle?.
