2 Front Seat Power Adjust problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2012

I have a 2002 mercedes C320. My battery is dead after seating overnight. Took the car to the austin mb dealership to diagnose the problem. I was told that the power seat motor is draining my battery. Both seats. Come to find out that many other people have experienced the same problem. I called mercedes USA and they said that since the car is out of warranty, there is not much they can do. That is bull!! obviously since so many people with this car model have the same problem, it has to be a manufacturer fault. I was wondering how many people need to experience this problem before mercedes will admit that they have a bad component on this model. I figured,if enough people call and tell mb that they have this same problem, they will realize that this is a defective part and they will issue a recall and pay for necessary repairs. Please call mercedes USA and report this problem. 1-800-for-mercedes (1-800-367-6372) or 201-476-6200.

Mercedes 2002 C320. Power seat control module for both driver and passanger drain the battery to a extent tha car can not be started up. Only solution is buy a new ($500. 00 plus labor) control module. I've done a research in different mercedes forums and it seems to be a common problem among these models. Mb dispite of all the people having the same problem has not issued any recall.

4 Front Seat Power Adjust problem

5 Front Seat Power Adjust problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2007

The car parked in the garage overnight and the morning I had an emergency at the business and could not start the car. The battery was totally drained. Had it towed to the shop to be diagnosed that it was the front driver side power seat that has drained all the energy from the battery even when the car is not running. The power seat is now continuously excessively drain the battery even when the car is not running. The consequences are that the car is not trusted to be able to start in an emergency situation when the car is needed for transportation. The car has very low mileage on it. The power seat has been rarely used and it should not fail for having been idle/not used for the length of time that I have own the car. I am the original first time owner of the car and I hardly have to adjust the power seat. I believe that the power seat is a manufacture defect and could be a dangerous impediment in an emergency situation. The are lots of mercedes owner who have experiencing the same malfunction in their power seats. I feel that with these many people, it warrants a recall by mercedes for all the power seats.
