WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE ALL POWER AND STOP ACCELERATING. THIS THROWS YOU FORWARD AND KILLS POWER TO THE ENGINE PREVENTING YOU FROM SPEEDING UP. IT THEN GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE EXITING LIMP MODE. WHEN TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY SAY IT JUST DETECTS A FUEL ERROR AND STOPS THE ENGINE TO PREVENT DAMAGE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON A HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A CITY STREET AS I WAS TURNING.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT MY 2013 MERCEDES C250 USED IN 2016 IN ROCHESTER NY. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD AS A NEW CAR IN FLORIDA AND WAS THERE FOR IT'S FIRST THREE YEARS. THIS PUTS ME AT A HIGHER RISK LEVEL FOR A DANGEROUS AIR BAG. I BELIEVE YOUR SYSTEM ONLY TRACKS CURRENT LOCATION AND DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CARS HISTORY. I AM IN A ZONE C BUT THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT TIME IN ZONE A. I AM REQUESTING THAT I BE GIVEN PRIORITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG. MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN SERVICED WITH THE REST OF THE ZONE A CARS IN 2017. IT IS NOW EARLY 2019 WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. MY LOCAL MD DEALER HAS GIVEN ME NO SATISFACTION ON THIS ISSUE AND APPEARS HELPLESS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE STEERING AND AIRBAG LIGHTS GOING ON. I WAS ALSO IN A BAD REAR END WRECK IN 2016 AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE BEEN CALLING SANTANDER CONSUMERS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE AND ARE STILL MAKING ME PAY MY MORE. THE MERCEDES DEALER HAS SAID THAT THE RECALLS ARE PENDING AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO I HAVE STOPPED MAKING PAYMENTS BECAUSE I HAVE A TODDLER AND WILL NOT DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR AND THE CAR WAS RECENTLY REPOSSESSED LAST WEEK. THE AIRBAG DEPLOY LIGHTS CONSTANTLY STAY ON INDICATING THEY ARE NOT WORKING AND THE STEERING KEEPS LOCKING UP. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND IN MOTION.

HELLO, I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM LOCAL DEALER, USED WITH 69K MILES. DELIVERED IT WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS LOW WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID. I TEST DRIVE IT AND TOOK CAR TO MY HOUSE. AFTER A MONTH, I WENT TO MERCEDES BENZ SERVICE STATION WHERE I FOUND OUT THE CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER IS OUT. COSTING ANOTHER $4900. I RESEARCH MORE ON THIS ISSUE; THIS IS A FLAW IN THE MERCEDES M271 ENGINE. AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILEAGE, THE CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING IN MOST MERCEDES C250 CARS. MERCEDES DID A RECALL ON IT YEARS AGO THE CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER SOLENOID IS VERY FAULTY AS IT HAPPENS TO MOST C250 VEHICLE OWNERS. THE CHECK ENGINE STAYS ON EVERY DAY, THERE ARE 1000S OF PEOPLE REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH MERCEDES.

WAITING PARTS FOR SAFETY BELTS ISSUE DEALERS HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED.NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED WAITING FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF AIR BAG

AS I WAS DRIVING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. LUCKLY I WASN'T ON MAJOR HIGHWAY OR ELSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. AFTER READING FARTHER REPORTS THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS OF TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND AS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. MERCEDES DID NOT DO ANY RECALLS OR PUT OUT ANY SAFETY NOTICES TO CUSTOMERS. THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION AND I FEEL THAT THEY DID NOT THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMERS. I CONTACTED THE MERCEDES HEADQUARTERS AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FELT MY LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE MERCEDES ENGINES AS WELL AS THE OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BROUGHT UP THIS COMPLAINT. THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OFFERED A LOUSY INCENTIVE OF $1000 TOWARD NEW VEHICLE OR $500 TOWARD A CERTIFIED PREOWNED VEHICLE. THEN THEY ALSO CHARGED ME $800 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEN TO TELL ME AFTER THAT THAT IT MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMEND A NEW ENGINE. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A ENGINE THAT GOES OUT AT ONLY HAVING 110000 MILES ON IT. A TOP CLASS CAR DEALER AND THEIR ENGINES GO OUT AT 110000 MILES. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER IN NAPERVILLE IL IS UNABLE TO PROMPTLY REPLACE THE PROBLEMATIC AIR BAG, GIVING POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT DATE OF SOME TIME IN 2020! WE ARE CONCERNED THAT OUR FAMILY WILL BE IN POTENTIAL DANGER FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS, WE CARRY A CHILD IN OUR CAR! PLEASE FORCE MERCEDES TO PROMPTLY REPLACE THE AIR BAG. THANKS.

DROVE UP TO DESTINATION PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF IGNITION WHEN I THEN REACHED FOR THE DOOR HANDLE AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. DRIVERS DOOR LATCH/ HANDLE BROKE AND UNABLE TO OPEN DOOR TO GET OUT OF CAR. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS NOT A RECALL AND NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE DOOR WHICH THEY QUOTED ME $1000.00 (LABOR/DOOR). THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR WITH WINDOW UP. DEALER STATED THE PART HAS 2 YEAR WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO ASSURANCE THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN NOR IF THE OTHER DOORS LATCH/HANDLE WILL BREAK AS WELL.

MERCEDES-BENZ CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT THE RECALL STATES 'RECALL INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE'. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN WHY DID THEY CONTACT ME TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE ISSUE?

I HAVE A PENDING RECALL AND CONTACT THE MERCEDES BENZ BUT THEY SAID THIS RECALL WILL NOT BE FIXED UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2019. EVEN THEY SAY IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE-IN, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE THIS RECALL OPEN, I AM HAVING MY CAR DEPRECIATED BY AT LEAST $2,000. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS RECALL COMPLETED ASAP OR HAVE SOME COMPENSATION BY MERCEDES BENZ DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR AS IS.

MERCEDES RECALL 17V627 MY WIFE HAS A MATCHING C250 AND FILLED WITH YOU MENTIONING MY VIN AS WELL. YOU CAN FIND HER INFORMATION UNDER YOUR COMPLAINT 11149647. WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM OUT OF STATE WORK, SHE TOLD ME THE STORY OF HER ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED THE CRITERIA OF "CONCERN" WAS HAVING THE SRS LIGHT COME ON WHICH IT DID IN HER CAR. WHEN SHE GOT TO ARROWHEAD MB IN PEORIA, THEY WANTED A $175 DX FEE PLUS $400 TO PULL HER BUMPER TO POKE AROUND TO SEE IF A LOOSE PLUG WERE THE PROBLEM, AND SHE REFUSED TO PAY IT BELIEVING THEY WERE SIMPLY TRYING TO RECOUP LABOR COSTS OF FIXING A FEDERALLY MANDATED RECALL. WE DECIDED TO USE MY CAR'S ROUTINE SERVICE AS A TEST AS IT IS ALSO UNDER RECALL. NOT ONLY DID THEY WANT THE MAINTENANCE FEE, BUT ANOTHER $3500 FOR WORK THAT I DID NOT ACCEPT. I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO SAID THE WORK ABSOLUTELY DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE AT THAT TIME AND WE BOTH NOW BELIEVE THAT ARROWHEAD IS FALSELY INFLATING OR DIRECTING CUSTOMERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO RECOUP LABOR COSTS OF FIXING A RECALL. MY RECALL WAS REPAIRED. THIS IS NOW TWO TIMES AND I GUARANTEE WE WILL NOT BE BACK WITH MERCEDES IN THE FUTURE, BUT THIS IS A CRIME AND WE WANT IT INVESTIGATED SO NO OTHER OWNER FALLS FOR THIS BAIT AND SWITCH.
