Two problems related to front suspension coil spring have been reported for the 2000 Mercedes Benz C280. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I suffered a catastrophic loss of control while driving on a road. The car yawed wildly before I was able to stop without injury. Further inspection showed the front left coil spring perch had separated from the body, allowing the spring to leave its mount and lose tension. Had I been at highway speed, would have been an extremely serious situation.
Suspension dropped at highway speed. Bearing broke off could only go straight as wheels could not turn left or right. Coil spring perch broke. . Wheel hitting wheel well. Left side of car front dropped towards ground. Someone will be killed or already probably have been. Mercedes benz knows of this problem and they wont correct the problem of there rusty cars. . These models go from years before 1990 and past 2010 and later with all models they've produced. . Check it out before you have a problem like gm has with ignition switch. . Let Mercedes Benz pay in whole for all these repairs of this safety hazzard and also not put it on customers shoulders to correct and pay for a dangerous safety condition.
