general problems of the 2016 Mercedes Benz C300

While driving past, close proximity or even going 30-40mph on a local road or even 60-70 on a highway the break assist function will repeatedly beep, and most times it will stop my car for me. This occurs also, when there are no cars near me! it’s very sudden, and unpredictable. On more occasions than few, if I’m driving in the middle of a 3- lane road, and cars are stopping in the far right lane, or making a turn my break assist will malfunction and automatically break. Multiple occasions I feared that a car may rear-end me. It happens alot. Very scary. This has been occurring for more than 2 years.

I have been noticing a hissing sound coming from the brake paddle for almost 3 weeks. Upon some online research I found out it could be a brake booster and there was a recall for the same car brand due to issues with brake booster in past but not included year 2016. Vehicle not inspected yet.

I have a 2016 C300 that was diagnosed with a severe brake booster issue. Last week, I had to brake hard while traveling 65 mph on a highway and they failed; luckily I was able to avoid catastrophe by maneuvering around the obstacle. I researched to see if this was a known issue and learned that some mercedes models between 2008-2012 had recalls due to brake booster corrosion issues, but mercedes might have a worse issue than just a few models prior to 2012, based on my experience!.

Crankcase ventillation valve assembly needs replacement.

The contact owns a 2016 mercedes-benz C300. The contact stated while crossing a pay toll, she was depressing the brake pedal to the floor but the vehicle failed to decelerate and rear ended into a truck. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated no one was injured nor sought medical attention. The contact stated there was no need to call and report the incident, no police report was filed. The contact stated she continue driving to her destination. The contact stated when she stepped out of the vehicle, she noticed the bumper, the grill and the mercedes-benz logo and bracket were fractured. The contact took the vehicle to local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake pads, the rotors, the bumper, the mercedes-benz logo and bracket to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact asked the dealer what was the cause of the failure but the dealer did not have a diagnoses for the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,900.

Recurring issue of severe pulsation when braking at highway speeds. Pulsation exacerbated by repeated stopping (red lights) or slowing from high speeds (freeway exit ramps). The problem makes it difficult to maintain proper control of the vehicle and makes it difficult to use mirrors due to shaking. I have driven the vehicle less than 40,000 miles and have needed to replace the rotors twice due to this issue.

Whenever car is put in reverse, there is a loud screeching noise when backing out.
