2004 mercedes C240 with sunroof and overhead control panel. Customer states that after the car was supposed to be repaired the vehicle acquired other problems along with a loose seat that moves while driving. The sunroof wouldn't close on auto mode, the cigarette lighter was inoperable, the alarm didn't sound, the right front door lock was defective, the brakes squeaked, there was an oil leak coming from the oil pan, the transmission leaked, the thrust arm bushings failed, the right side windshield wiper was coming apart, the right front window made a loud squeak, there was a loud noise coming from the engine. The drivers seat didn't tilt up or down. The panic feature on the vehicle didn't work, both remote keys didn't lock or unlock the doors.
I was driving to work from parkville to baltimore city and my car began aggressively jerking. I drove my car on Friday morning through the tunnel and the jerking was not as aggressive. I drove home on Friday afternoon from work and I could tell that something was still jerking but continuously. Saturday morning my car was jerking so aggressively, I called owings mills mercedes and left it there. I was notified today, may 27, 2015, that my car needed between $1900 and $7500 worth of work. My coolant is leaking on the transmission. If my radiator can not be fixed, I will need a new radiator as well as transmission. I have doing research and this seems to be a common problem with the c class mercedes. I feel this should be a recall issue.
