My 2016 mercedes-benz c300 after undergoing the recommended maintenance via the mercedes-benz dealer, while driving down the public road lost power, the lost of power with no warning to me or any other drivers around me, the vehicle went from 45 mph to 10 mph this was due to a decentigrating piston, the vehicle manufacture advertised that the vehicle would cut power to protect the engine from causing it self further damage, this seemed like a great safety feature until it just happen, I had no control over the vehicle, it just seemed to take on a life of its own, the vehicles behind or adjacent to me had no warning that the vehicle would decrease the speed, so I had to muscle the care out of the swirling traffic, I was devistated that my car caused me such fear and dealing with the fact that the car could have killed me or some one else near me, I had the vehicle towed to the local dealer who had serviced the vehicle since it was new and the dealer explained that the piston in the internal combustion engine had decentagrated thus causing metal shavings to be distributed throughout the rest of the engine, and I would be charged for the total cost of the repair of the engine. It appeared that this should have been disclosed to the owner of the vehicle or placed in the owners manual, but the only response from mercedes was we change out these engines all the time they always blow engines, you can call mercedes-benz advocacy to discus the warranty from which I never receive a response. If the manufacture places know bad parts in to a vehicle and sales it to the public, then that manufacture should have to pay for the repairs of the customers vehicles either individually or thru a recall process.

Automatic engaging of emergency break while driving or stationary together with signals of collision prevention assistant plus inoperative and two other errors (in pictures). Car was bought recently bought and delivered to me on January 1st , 2020. It has been taken back to dealer twice for same errors. It was replaced the battery twice as dealer indicated it had to do with auxiliary battery malfunctioning which was also another error showing in the panel.

I purchased the vehicle January 2019, the vehicle was running smooth for a couple months. Now it is January 2020 and between the months of September and now I have been to mercedes about 4 times. The car doesn't reverse sometimes while I am driving. The words 'car cannot reverse' comes up on the dashboard. I couldn't use the heat in November due to a gas smell coming in the car. Sometimes I will be in gear 3 and the car will change to gear 5 on its own. As of right now there is a burning smell surrounding the vehicle when you are done driving it.

My car has shut off on me while driving two times and road side assistance came out two different occasion. I kept up with maintenace on the vehicle. I went to pep boys up the st from my house instead of mercedes for oil changes. Out of no where my engine light came on and I towed my car two mercedes to fix. They said my engine blew n the turbo . They won't cover it under warranty since I gave them all my maintence receipts from pep boys . This was a demo car I originally leased and had it for 2 years with 9 months left on the car. The recalls on the VIN were not fixed and mercedes is trying to send me away with a unfixed car. Please help.
