Bought a 2002 mercedes-benz 320 new from a dealer. The paint is peeling and rust is setting in. So far the dealer has replaced the hood and the roof. Now there is more paint peeling on the right rear panel and the gas tank flap. When I inquired about trading the car in, the dealer gave me an estimate of $16,500 -- because the appraiser saw new paint on the car, he presumed it had been in an accident and had hidden damaged. The car has never been hit. I paid about $50,000 for it, with all the ups and extras including an onboard navigation system. The car only has 14,475 miles on it and is just now qualifying for service b. My friends tell me mercedes isn't what it used to be. It is now definitely daimler Chrysler. Including this car,I have purchased six new mercedes since 1985. I will not ever buy another one.
Consumer experienced various problems with 2002 Mercedes Benz C320.
The electronic key presents a safety hazard since it ques in all setting for the driver. While driving the mirrors would change position. The key can stop "talking" to the car and not allow the car to be started. Sometimes when starting the panel and other inside lights failed to come on, but the car was driveable. The oil level check system would say the oil level is to high, and add miles to the next service point. The big confidence breaker is will this key stop talking entirely to the car while driving? this would surley result in a non-steerable event. I could not get mercedes to answer such inquiry, or reassure me that it could not happen. I turned the car back into the dealer and now have learned it was sold. I want to warn the new owner of these problems, since they were not fixed for me, and I have little confidence they can be.
