general problems of the 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 - part 1

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the fuel system failure is a highly critical safety concern, and my life is at risk. It causes malfunctions with the vehicle, for example, the obd-based emissions test has flagged a lot of (codes p219a, p0300, p0304, p0410, p0305, p0303, p0171, p0301) 5 of the cylinder misfire codes with the check engine light on, as well affecting other parts in the vehicle function properly, acceleration issues, car stalling as though it’s going to shut off. This is a serious matter and mercedes-benz is failing to prioritize customer safety, over cost especially when known faults in the vehicle can lead to potentially life-threatening incidents such as fuel leaks and fire hazards. Yes, the vehicle is available for further inspection upon request immediately each day my life is at risk. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? my safety and other's safety are put at risk every time I get out on the road to drive my car it's putting me and other' live in serious danger (especially with the extreme increase in car accidents in the local nashville, TN area). Despite the vehicle now being 3,000 miles over the 150,000-mile extended warranty threshold. I recently purchased the car on [xxx] and was not made aware of Mercedes Benz having any extended warranty coverage for the faulty fuel system that mercedes-benz had placed on this model. I can only assume the previous owner the car was reposed from was also unaware of this as well. I believe mercedes-benz should still cover the cost of this repair. The fuel system failure is a critical safety concern, and mercedes-benz should prioritize customer safety, especially knowing there were faults of poor quality that they discovered with their vehicles and can lead to potentially life-threatening incidents such as fuel leaks and fire hazards.

The sam box (electrical system fuze panel) located under the hood is in a spot where if the lid isn't on correctly water will drain from the windshield right into the sam box and cause the vehicles electrical system to deploy the steering wheel airbag. That's at least what happened to me. It was raining out that day and I guess I went over a bump that caused the lid of the sam to get out of place. I drove home and the car seat for a few hours. I went out upon unlocking the door as soon as I pulled the handle to open the driver side door the steering wheel airbag blew and the vehicle is now in srs mode. The dealership had told me that it's a design flaw but wants me to pay for the diagnostic. No lights were on and I did not file a police report.

The airbags were supposed to have been fixed per recall by carriage house mercedes in new london CT. My son was in a horrible front in collision and they did not deploy. None of them did. Accident happened 3 days ago insurance will pick up car today. I’d like this noted incase they need evidence.

I was in a collision and the airbags did not deploy. There was a recall on airbags for the mercedes C300 within the year my vehicle was made, however, the recall did not include my VIN. Also, the sunroof drain is faulty, which was also recalled on other mercedes C300s within the same production year, again not my VIN, but upon inspection by a certified dealership, it appears to be the same issue as other recalled vehicles.

Upon finding out that this vehicle has two open airbag recalls, and the NHTSA website saying parts where available, I contacted the dealer for assistance in replacing the airbags. The dealer said that the airbags were on backorder from the manufacture with no timeline for potential replacement. Per instructions on the NHTSA website I am filling out this form to let the NHTSA know the manufacture has failed / is unable to remedy this dangerous safety recall in a timely manner.

I received notice of airbag recalls in 2016. Finally received a letter from Mercedes Benz USA stating they had airbags in September 2019. (this was after calling dealer repeatedly regarding airbags and told there wasn't a solution yet). Tried calling Mercedes Benz dealer-autonation mercedes bellevue wa. Could not get thru , could not leave message it was very frustrating. Finally called sales- receptionist walked back to service and I got to speak to customer service rep. Emailed Mercedes Benz USA on 10/-5/19 @ 0923. Main office contacted autonation mercedes bellevue called me and scheduled airbag replacement 11/08/19@0900. Left my vehicle all day- driver and passenger airbag replacement. At 1600 was called and told they didn't have airbags. So drove my car home- without replacement airbags. Was told sirbags were reordered and they would call when in. No call was received/ called several times spoke with service rep chad, finally was rescheduled for December 2019- was called an hour later and cancelled. Have not heard from them since. To say this is deplorable service is an understatement. One week after November appt. Received a text that my battery showed problems- asked what problem no response. Finally called and asked and they said it was low- but I had it checked and it was fine. I have also emailed head company in georgia. Please look into this and this company.

I have been contacting mecedes-benz of south bay at 3311 pacific coast highway, torrance, CA 90505. Tel: (855)457-2275 for the last 2 years regarding the takata air bag recall. 1) the response is always: "we will contact you to schedule service when the parts arrive". They never contact. 2) I keep getting postcards from Mercedes Benz that parts are available, however, I have left messages for their assigned recall person who never has time to call back they are dragging their feet on this matter hoping I'll go away and forget about it.

Takata recall : my C300 mercedes 2011 has been on recall for over 5 years every mercedes dealership says there are no airbags available. Why???? everyone else I talk to has had them replaced already !! now the light has come on saying l & r srs malfunction (service required).

"takata recall" we started getting airbag recall notices 4 years ago. We have called the dealer every 6 months and they always say "takata has not sent us parts" this is totally unacceptable for a life critical part such as an airbag that can explode. Nothing but excuses. Every time we drive this vehicle we are worried about the airbags. This is the 4th mb we have owned and its likely the last due to the way this recall has been handled.

"takata recall" recent change in PA law made me aware of recall problems others reported. I checked my vehicle and found 2 unresolved recalls, one dated 2016 and one dated 2019. I intend to complain to the dealer I purchased the car from and I wondered if NHTSA was doing anything to pressure the dealer to resolve their 3 year neglect of my unsafe air bags. Is it normal that a recall is ignored by the manufacturer for 3 years? can you help?.

Takata recall. I have been contacting the mercedes dealerships in my area and the remedy parts have not been available for air bag replacement. Quite frankly, its scary to drive.

Takara recall I have been calling the Mercedes Benz dealer every few months since I got the recall notice on my car. Each time they tell me that it will be 1 or 2 months before the parts are available to fix the car. This scenario has been going on for the past 2 years or more. I cannot seem to get my car fixed. The last time I called they told me I didn't need to call every few months that they would send me a letter when the parts were available. I realized that they have a lot of cars to fix but I do not want to continue driving my car knowing that if someone runs into me I could be killed because of a faulty airbag. How do I get my car fixed? anything you could do to help me would be very much appreciated my dealer is in lakeland florida it is fields motor car. Their phone number is 863 688-8111.

Takata recall. Recall is over 3 years old, February 9, 2016, remedy is still not available.

The rings used to determine wheel speed for the stability system fail, this has happened twice to my car and can result in the brakes being applied without warning. Also takata air bags have not been replaced in the three years after the recall.

Takata reccall: mercedes has not remedied this problem though it has been known for some time. I just got another letter saying "we don't have parts, stay tuned, we will let you know", this is unacceptable for a dangerous recall.

Takata recall. Until now, this has not been fixed. It has been three years since the first recall came out. In my opinion, that is way too long to get this taken care of. Nothing has happened yet to my vehicle, but I think it has been way too long that nothing has been done to replace these. Mfg. Recall n0. 2018030009 and 2018030011.

The takata airbag recall is approximately 4 years old now and mercedes has refused to do anything about it. And I live in a high risk area of south florida. I get a letter per year form mercedes stating they are looking into it. I have called the local dealer many times. Each time I contact mercedes they reply they are looking into it and have no information. Friends with fords chevys and almost any other car brands got loaner cars and then their vehicle repaired. Mercedes is ignoring the issue, should be fined very heavily, and made to fix their cars immediately. Please let me know how and what I can do including if I can sue.

Takata recall they keep pushing this date back. Everyday I drive this car its a gamble.

Takata recall mercedes still has not made any actual repairs on the vehicles. I have been told every month since the initial recall that they are waiting on parts. This is ridiculous! mercedes has no intention of replacing these airbags, do they? I live and drive in florida. Mercedes will not provide a loaner vehicle despite numerous requests. When are you going to make the manufacturers live up to their responsibility. A fake recall is a fake recall. Please stop letting them pull the wool over your eyes.

I keep calling and complaining about the safety issue on my car but I always get the same response: recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available.

Office that can help me with this problem. Thank you.
