Electrical System Problems of Mercedes Benz C280

Our car was recalled on 07/03/2008, recall #08v303000, for problems relating to a number of types of mechanical and electrical malfunctions. One was the "(3) obd system may cause the check engine light to illuminate incorrectly; and (4) the speedodometer may be out of tolerance" this vehicle has had a malfunctioning "check engine light", that needs to be corrected. It prevents the car from being properly registered, and the warning being on is a distraction to drivers. It has been unresolved by mercedes and by other mechanics who could not make the proper repair of the "check engine light" issue that was listed in the recall. Mercedes has failed to make the repair, associated with this recall and states that the recall #08v303000 of 07/03/2008 is expired. The car had had recent additional recall work done, and this problem was brought up, but not addressed nor corrected by mercedes. There has been difficulty in our obtaining connecticut vehicle emissions approval, and connecticut registration renewal due to the unaddressed problem by mercedes. We cannot re-register the vehicle out of connecticut until this issue is resolved. If we chose the sale of the vehicle, we would have to provide the purchaser a clear and registerable vehicle. Without your assistance in the resolution of this matter that would be impossible to do.

The wire harness insulation within the headlight assemble is disintegrating leaving the wire, it's designed to protect, bare and exposed to contact with adajacent wire also missing insulation and now bare. This has created an unsafe condition which will result in short circuiting, loss of headlight illumination, possible fire and circuits damage.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Mercedes Benz C280. The contact stated that while driving a highway rate of speed, there was a drastic reduction in speed with no warning, the rpms raced and the accelerator pedal was not responding. The contact had to apply force to the accelerator pedal to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road, turn off the vehicle and restart the vehicle each time the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the automatic transmission needed to be replaced, the transmission shaft, the springs, the internal speed sensor and also that the cam shaft needed to be re-adjusted into the correct positioning. The contact was not able to drive the vehicle in this condition. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
