general problems of the 2010 Mercedes Benz C300

Tl the contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz C300. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled at start-up and while driving at various speeds. The battery failure warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic nor a dealer to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

I got Mercedes Benz C300 2010 in less than 6 months, the vehicle developed power steering lock issue; the vehicle will not start and got me stranded in a parking lot of a grocery store. I researched the problem online and realized several individuals have had similar issue. I brought the issue to mbusa, they did not deny its a common issue but said based on the history of the vehicle I am not eligible for any relieve on the cost of repair. I feel it is unfair that I will have to pay for something I believe its a manufacturer default. Now I am compelled to pay $1,700 for the repairs.

Transmission has gone completly out at 30,000 mies and mercedes refuses to respond.

On 12/22/12 at approximately 9pm I was parking my car having arrived at my destination. I had almost finished parking when my Mercedes Benz C300, 2010 lunched forward without warning and hit the truck in front of me resulting in a chain rection. With that truck smashing into the vehicle infront of it. I honestly believe that the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own and therefore must have malfunctioned. I went searching and found similar complaints from a couple of other owners of benz C300 2010 model. I called Mercedes Benz USA and reported and was told that I need to take the car in and pay for it to be diagnosed. They insisted that they have not heard of any similar complaint. I am concerned that this may happen again.

Vehicle jerks forward when coming to a stop. Hood was not secure and sensor never notified driver. Seat stopped working. Bluetooth is faulty. The jerking occurs every week, at least every other day dealer cannot duplicate problem so no repairs done. Bluetooth not fixed.
