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).

I own a 2002 Mercedes Benz C230, which has now had 2 severe issues with it. The first issue is the electrical system - the seat control modules go faulty and start draining the battery even when the car is turned off. If you have a battery drain, this is the likely culprit. I have replaced the seat control modules a total of 3 times. This is a common problem according to internet boards. The 2nd problem is that oil started to leak all over the wires. Again another common problem according to the internet boards.
