general problems of the 2015 Mercedes Benz C300 - part 1

I was driving my car was sputtering or trying to shut off while I press the gas and I let go of the gas and it catches and stayed on. I took it to the dealership and they said they found nothing wrong. May 3rd around 12pm im driving on the freeway and as im getting on the express lane going 60 it dies and I couldn't move the steering wheel and I slammed into a guardrail. After doing research my car (VIN [xxx] ) had multiple recals from the fuel pump and steering wheel and the dealership never fixed or checked any recalls before selling it to me. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Power steering malfunction car unable to drive I believe there is supposed to be a recall for this issue but not popping up when I put in VIN number warning lamps come up. Sometimes every light on dashboard. Took it to mercedes but it was when code was not popping up and they said I needed a new battery. Did that but still an issue. Has also happened when driving. Sometimes collision assist plus light comes on and power steering acts up. Light I am pointing at in picture is another light that consistently pops up I have been able to intermittently fix problem by resetting computer by unplugging battery for 15min or longer. As well as confirming full service on vehicle. Now it isn’t working though.

Have noticed a lot of air noise coming from the panoramic sunroof of my vehicle when driving, and now have issues of it opening or closing properly. I researched and found a recall regarding the issues my vehicle is having, and brought it into a dealership for diagnosis. Was told my vehicle VIN was not included in the recall. This is a dangerous issue that needs to be remedied. If the sunroof malfunctions I’m afraid it will come loose from the vehicle as it is doing the same things that the recalled VIN vehicles had issue with. Mercedes needs to update and add additional vins to this recall. I did not repair, as I was told the entire thing will need to be replaced.

The vehicle then powered off completely. The contact manually restarted the vehicle and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact turned off the automatic stop/start system. The failure occurred two additional times. The failure had not recurred with the automatic stop/start system deactivated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 158,000.

I keep getting the p052e pcv replacement valve issue. I see online that this has impacted multiple mercedes c class but no recalls have been issued for this.

Esp controller non functional.

When driving I accelerated and then the engine light turned on. After that the car was jolty and turned off completely when stopped. Had to force a restart at the light. Code that came back was p052e. This is a major and common issue with these cars. Part is 400+ dollars. Labor is much more since this is a 6 hour job. The work to replace this part is incredibly intensive that makes it impossible for regular car owners to change. Mercedes refuses to recognizes this as a common issue. But the truth is they designed a faulty system that they claim to have updated a handful of times now.

Car was parked in garage with garage door open. Wife and I wanted to go biking and the bikes needed air in the tires. Pre-positioned one bike directly behind parked car and one parallel with the pneumatic air pump prepositioned to inflate the tires. Went to driver's side door and started car with foot on the brake and pushed the button. I then plugged in the adapter for the air pump into the cigarette lighter. The whole time the driver's side door was open and the car was not moving. I exited the car and walked backwards and knelt down abeam the left rear automobile tire to inflate the bike tire. I started the pump at the unit and started to connect the hose to the bike tire, I was then hit from behind by the car door which bent backwards as it passed over me in reverse at low speed. The bike may have saved me by creating a wedge to bend the door back and away from me. The car started down my driveway and dragged the bike parked behind it underneath wedged and sparking across the ground. I got some scrapes but jumped after the car and tried to stop it by trying to slow it with my weight and strength and it was not stopping or slowing. I was worried I may get run over a second time and let it continue to roll at low idle speed across the street and into the neighbor's car that was parked. I am positive the car was not moving after I started it and I didn't have my foot on the brake to engage the reverse function one I exited the vehicle. I believe that the car engaged in reverse once I started the air pump. Maybe it was a voltage or electrical spike. I have used this pump setup many times before to inflate the car's tires and my bike tires but never saw it do this before.

The dealership garage isla verde in carolina, refuse to service my car. They are the only mercedes-benz dealer in puerto rico and there is no other dealer that can service the recalls of my car. Currently they don’t want to fix the recall nthsa# #21v197 bonding of panoramic sunroof panel - wave 2 my. Their service is poor and negligent. They make an appoinment to then cancel it and deny receiving me or my car on the only authorized dealer to fix the recall and denying any services to my car. They refuses my entrance.

Passenger side airbag light keeps coming on when someone is sitting in the car. My electrical system shuts off and on and goes haywire.

When driving on the bridge the piece of my sunroof flew off I pulled over it was raining and the inside of my car got wet the motor on my sunroof no longer works as the water leaked through. I picked up as much of the pieces as I could but the part was run over.

2015 Mercedes Benz C300. Consumer writes in regards to deleted safety features after safety recall was performed. The consumer stated during an update the voice recognition feature was uninstalled. The manufacturer was contacted and stated the feature would only operate if the vehicle had an active gps system. The consumer stated the vehicle was purchase with the use of the voice command and it should remain.

Regardless of driving through city streets, expressway or in place the screen to my vehicle displays �stop vehicle shift to park leave engine running� with an image of a battery above.

While I was travelling on highway, I got an alert about collision system being inoperable, I took my car to the dealership, it was investigated and was told to me that I had an accident? I did not. I am thinking it was some kind of an electrical/radar sensor issue? it did not affect my speed or ability to accelerate.

Takara recall.

When accelerating with my mercedes C300, the car is actually loosing power. The effect is reinforced as the controlling system is blocking the acceleration. Result is that the car is braking suddenly instead of accelerating. It is particularly dangerous when trying to pass another car on the high way as the car will brake. I almost experienced twice an accident on the highway due to this acceleration/bake issue. I brought my car to an independent mercedes repair center. They confirmed to me that mercedes issued a technical bulletin for an electrical cable replacement due to that failure. The issue described on the tb is identical to the experience issue. I contacted my mercedes dealership service department. They informed me there is no recall and don't consider this issue a safety issue. They won't replace the electrical cable unless I paid for the "service". The cable has not been damaged or disconnected. It is simply faulty and mercedes knows the issue as they issued a tb for the vehicle.

Speakers randomly stop working - sometimes for a few hours and other times for up to 5 days. When speakers are not working, this means the stereo, navigation, bluetooth calls, and emergency calls are inaccessible. This is a problem for many drivers please click on the link below.

Entertainment unit does not work at all. Happened out of nowhere one day turned on the car and it was frozen. Back up camera 9/10 times does not work and when it does it turns on after you have backed up and are already going forward. Unit freezes unable to change or do anything to the unit itself. Occasionally a blue screen pops up for 1-2 seconds and goes to the initial start up screen for a while. I went to my local dealership and the admitted of hearing about this problem from other owners with the same issue and said there was nothing that could be done cause they have no idea how to fix it, I mean that's absurd.

There is a serious problem with the vehicle mentioned above. The entertainment system and the rear camera do not work. This is a serious safety concern regarding the rear camera. The c-class is designed in such way that you depend on the camera when reversing and it is very difficult to see the rear view when backing and looking from all angles. I called your hq in maryland for assistance, they were unaware of potential reported problems. Their best answer was to call the dealership. The following day, I received a phone call from new country motor cars Mercedes Benz of hartford, CT stating that they have not heard of this problem and its very unlikely that it was associated with the recent recall regarding this vehicle. Upon arrival, and retelling my story to the service advisor helder crespo, he told me that their received numerous complaints about this particular vehicle make and that other customers are affected by this similar problem. It been three weeks, I have not heard anything from mb or dealership. I am quiet appalled by this matter and shocked by the improper communication from mb to their loyal customers. Is this 'the best of nothing' customer relation?! I am extremely dissatisfied how this matter is being handled and that not even one single person who knew about this issue did not even apologize for the inconveniences that this had cased me.

I have a 2015 Mercedes Benz C300. I have not even owned the car for one year and I have already had a whole list of problems that are not being resolved. The stereo quit working, the back up camera doesn't work, the ac works on and off, and my hands free does not work at all. This all happened one day when I turned on my car to leave work. The stereo was frozen and it has stuck like that. Mercedes has not sent out a recall or any notification at all. I took the car to the dealership and they sent it back with no idea of when it will be fixed.

The vehicle's collision prevention assistant plus option often displays during driving. This causes the car to lose acceleration and prevents you from accelerating regardless of how hard you press the gas pedal. This happens for no apparent reason and occurs while in the midst of driving, usually within a busy intersection and has also happened to me several times while driving on the highway. I am very afraid to drive this vehicle. The only way to correct this when it occurs is to pull off the road, shut the car down, and restart the engine after a few minutes. My car was serviced on 1/13/18 and when tested, no evidence of this was found. Since then, this malfunction happened on 1/14 and again today 1/15. This malfunction has the potential to be catastrophic. I've advised the dealer this needs to be serviced and fixed, otherwise we will be asking for a new vehicle for the remainder of the lease. I am very fearful to drive the car, especially with our two young children.

My car wouldn't start. I have been waiting for a recall part since February. Last night I had an srs malfunction passenger seat airbag. Mercedes told me today I don't have a recall for airbags but I think it is a takata airbag problem that's hasn't been reported for my vehicle yet.

New car purchases in 2015, fewer than 25000 miles. While driving locally, "collision prevention assist" malfunction and "check engine" lights lit up the dash board. Vehicle would not pick up speed and driving was weird. Was able to drive to dealership which is about 8 miles away. Situation could be potentially dangerous if happens on a highway and it warrants attention.

While accelerating from a stop light from 0 to slightly over 40 mph received error code of anti collision assist inoperable and the vehicle went from 40 mph to 0 like I hit a tree. It was not a slow smooth motion of slowing to a stop. This was a violent stop throwing me forward and caused my seat belts to activate. It should be noted that there was not a single person in front of me, behind me or beside me. This was nothing short of a miracle because if anyone had been behind me, I would have been rear ended and if anyone had been in the right hand lane I would have hit them as the vehicle pulled to the right very hard when it malfunctioned. I took the car to the dealer and told them I did not want the car back unless they could determine what had happened and could promise that it would never happen again. Upon reading so many complaints about the same life threatening electrical malfunction, there is no possible way that Mercedes Benz is not fully aware of the potential for serious injury or death. I have called mb USA and was told that I would need to file a customer inquiry. Done. I purchased the vehicle in April 2016 with 7,200 miles on it. I am completely terrified to drive the car.

While I was driving on the highway & local roads, the car suddenly became unresponsive and started showing messages that all systems are inoperative. Pre safe functions limited,and inoperative traction control light comes on along with the blindspot not activated, esp system was off as well. The car started slowing down and had to be pulled over to turn off and on. This has happened 3-4 times and on busy roads, car is sent to the shop and only has 27000 miles. I am scared to drive as I could die in a car accident because of this shit car. Mercedes need to recall this ASAP, if they are not then we should open a class action lawsuit against them as they are playing with our lives.
