| Power Train problems |
My wife was driving our 2020 Mercedes Benz C300 coupe near our house and the engine light came on. Then the car could not be driven over the speed of 30 miles per hour. Then it stopped and had to be towed. Fortunately, she was able to avoid being hit by other vehicles. The car only has 25219 miles. It was towed to a mechanic who performed a diagnostic test which provided a series of codes regarding the malfunction. Three codes were related to the camtronic camshaft system and its solenoid ( codes: p003c-53; p34ae-00; p34ad-09). Camshaft position actuators failure codes: p34ad; p34ae. The way it happened could have resulted in damage, serious injury or death since the car suddenly stopped. The car is well maintained. We believe that there is a manufacturer's defect since this is a garaged vehicle that is well maintained and has low mileage.
