Three problems related to radio/tape cd player have been reported for the 2015 Mercedes Benz C300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving my 2015 Mercedes Benz C300 4matic with panoramic roof one day on rte 9 in hyde park NY, a 2 lane state road I was traveling at 40 mph, I suddenly heard more air than usual and then seconds later a loud flapping noise on roof. I pulled over immediately only to find the stationary roof panel all the way forward on the roof, (directly in front of glass portion of the pano roof) became loose on one side and flapped open with wind when in motion. I used 3 quarters between windshield and said panel to hold it from popping up while driving and drove immediately to a body shop. Tbey inspected it and determined it was held down with black epoxy similar to what is used to install glass such as windshields. They added some epoxy and taped down the piece for me. Approximately one week later I was traveling on the same road at about 30mph and suddenly all within like 2 seconds heard loud wind, then flapping, then saw the roof piece fly off swing in front off windshield it was still attached to a rubber gasket, then up in the air and back down and smacked the side of drivers door before breaking free and flying down the road behind me. Luckily it did not strike any cars or people as it briefly held on to the gasket attached. I immediately stopped and was able to retrieve it, broken into 2 pieces. Some online research found this has been a very common problem with many, many people who posted all ovwr the internet on facebook and several other sites. I then found the exact same problem, and part was recalled by mercedes for 10s of thousands if cars, but the recall did not include my year (but did include my model for other years). This is very obviously the same exact problem and should be covered for all years by mercedes. I called and after a lengthy phone call with Mercedes Benz I got nowhere. The agent for mb refused to even admit it was a recall, and was rude.
