2 Driveshaft problem of the 2008 Mercedes Benz C300

Failure Date: 06/17/2015

Transmission at 60000 started making noise. My mechanic diagnosed as transmission rear drive shaft bearing. Looking on internet, many people had same issue at even lower mileage. And mercedes does not make just bearing, the entire transmission needs replaced. Used transmissions are doing same thing. I think it is time to issue a recall.

3 Driveshaft problem of the 2011 Mercedes Benz C300

Failure Date: 06/05/2014

When coming to a stop or letting off the accelerator pedal it feels as if the vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. I suspect it's either coming from the drive shaft or transmission. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership a number of times but can not duplicate after it happened going on a test drive with a technician.
