Mercedes 2015 C300 crank case ventilation hose has a defect and it is well-known to the manufacturer. This causes recurring engine and exhaust problems for a large number of car owners, and it should be part of a recall.
Engine crankcase (pcv) problems on Mercedes Benz C300 and harness issue. I’ve noticed this is a very common issue many owners as myself have experienced and no action for a recall.
Reported to local dealer and corporate office about the issues with shift module not shifting at random, meaning that the vehicle won't shift from park to drive or reverse, and so forth. The local dealer tried to reprogram the software, but the problem still persists. When plugging in my obd ii & dtc readers, code u0103 appairs which translates to "lost communication with gear shift control module". My concern with this is that I've had this issue while in traffic, which would make my vehicle a hazard. When it comes to the collision prevention system, the system randomly turns on and off, meaning that when it's needed it might turn on, but when it's not needed it randomly turns on. Once again, addressed this with a local dealer and Mercedes Benz corporate with no avail. My concerns here is that the vehicle could prematurely brake causing an accident or not brake at all causing an accident.
I took my vehicle to the dealership to have recall worked on (top sunroof panel) apparently they refused to work on it because my sunroof is not working. I received a letter after I financed the vehicle stating that there was a recall so to take it in to the dealership and if sunroof needed to be fixed it would. Long story short, back in July the panel detached from my vehicle while I was on the freeway. Thankfully I didn’t cause an accident but I would like some help so the dealership can fix the recall.
On February 9th, during my morning commute on the interstate the car lost power to the drivetrain. Message that displays was "collision assist plus inoperative" along with cruise control inoperative. With an amber esp light illuminated, there was no engine light on. When this message appeared the car would no longer accelerate (limp mode). In avoidance to being in a rear end collision I quickly pulled over, turned off the car and turned back on. Inoperative message, limp mode and esp light was cleared. I called dealer to notify. My thought was the battery is a dud (was replaced the day prior), the car needs a software reboot due to the new battery or car was not connected to the "memory saver" correctly. Or the sensors were dirty. So I did the easiest. I washed the car. This problem continued to happen 5-6 times more over the next few days stalling on the freeway at 65-75 mph. Extremely dangerous & life threatening. No engine problems apparent. Seems to be radar or software. This is extremely dangerous while on the highway, I found many other with this same issue on NHTSA. I attached a picture of car showing message with no power. My seatbelt was off as I was on side of road trying to get to gas station. This issue is cleared by turning car on / off. Then it happens again hours or a day later, loss of power at highway speeds. Coast over.
Check engine light keeps coming on/ fowl order coming from ac unit/ loud gas smell when start ignition in the morning.
