2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class owner complaints

I was told to file here if there was no remedy on the safety recall and there wasn't. There was a safety recall in february 2016 for my takata airbag and to this date, there is no available remedy. This is a huge safety concern. I just checked online and status is same no remedy -incomplete.

Takata recall my SRS light has been on. In the last 6 months I have made contact with Mercedes dealer in henderson nv an I continue to be told, they don't have the part an cannot tell me when they will get it in they want me to pay them to repair the problem? I have received a recall notice about this same problem at least 4 times in the last year when is my car going to be fixed? NHTSA recall # 16v081,16v363,17vo17 priority group 4 vehicles

Takata recall. Dealer says they do not have replacement parts. I've been waiting for them to get replacement parts for nearly a year now.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Mercedes-benz c230. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v081000 (air bags). The part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Mercedes-benz of san diego in san diego, california was made aware of the recall and stated that the parts were unavailable. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Takata recall I am writing to find out when this defective airbag in my car will replaced. I do not feel safe in the car with this defective airbag present in the vehicle and I am demanding that it be replaced immediately. I feel sufficient time has elapsed for the manufacturers to fix this problem and make my car safe again.

The SRS light is on steady for about a month now. I get a message on the display "check passenger airbag" and the passenger airbag "on/off" switch is in the off position, which I cannot change. When I look up the VIN I get no answer for my make and model. I really think my car should be included on this recall.

Tamara recall I have not been notified if my vehicle is included in the latest airbag recalls. Howeher, the SRS light remains constant and my steering wheel controls don't work as well as wipers. At the time I heard a loud pop in car it was stationary at a gas station.

After having the check engine light come on, we took the car to the dealership we purchased it from to perform a diagnostic after receiving codes p0170 and p0173 (mb codes 2092/2096) which mb classifies as "mixture in right / left cylinder bank is too rich when idling" and were told we would need to replace the intake manifold for $2110. The explanation we received (verbal only as they refused to describe the problem in writing after asking multiple times) was that a bushing that controls the air flow valves was worn. They could not provide a reason as to what would cause this wear considering the bushing is internal to the control valves. They also could not tell me which specific side this leak was coming from. Since the intake manifold is one large component we would need to replace

The vehicle was being driven on interstate 95 in pompano beach florida, the car started to run rough and the check engine light became illuminated. Took the car to the repair shop and it came up with 2 codes 1200 and 1208 intake and exhaust camshaft sensor right cylinder, the mechanics replaced the 2 sensors and a couple weeks later it appeared again. The original mechanic recommended another shop that specialized in Mercedes. I took it there a few weeks later and we were informed it is a common problem with the Mercedes and that they were being sued for it,and Mercedes has put out over 10 tsb on the issue and it has been happening to cars with this new engine. The problem is the sprocket on the balance shaft was not hardened metal,like it was suppose to be. *tr

My check engine light is on. I had it looked at by my mechanic. He confirmed that it is the balance shaft. This needs to be replaced. I researched this problem and found many Mercedes 230 models have this manufacturer's problem because the piece was cheaply made. This is a problem with your Mercedes c230 2006 and 2007 models. In 2008 c230 model this was replaced with a quality balance shaft piece which eliminated the problem. I would like for Mercedes corporation to pay for the full cost of my repair because it is a manufactured faulty piece used in the 2006 and 2007c230 models. Please let me know details to get this paid for. Thank you!! *tr

To whom it may concern. I have the mb c230 2006. I've been losing power while driving. While the car idles it's running as if it's missing like out of timing. I've been to the parts dept because I was told the vehicle was missing. I had the coils changed. Spark plugs changed, yet still the car has no power and when idling the engine runs so violent it's causing the belt to wear. So far I had to buy 5 belts and they won't last more than 4 days. This past week I was also told that the 4 magets would have to be changed. Well I had them changed and still I have a car that has no power. I was finally told by a md mechanic my problem with the car is there's a balance shaft that's inoperable. When I inquire about this item I was told that Mercedes benz does not have this as a recall item when in

Took our daughter's 2006, c230 Mercedes benz to our Mercedes certified mechanic to repair a sluggish problem that caused the check engine light to come on.. I was informed that a part in the engine called the balancer was going bad... The cost is an approx $5000.00. And that we would have to take it to the local Mercedes dealership to do the repair. The part installed in the 2006 and 2007 models was made of a too soft a metal, so its a defective part to start with! This part apparently causes the engine to lose power while driving... Benz has not issued a recall on this part. *tr

Moments after exiting the freeway and reducing speed at around 35 MPH my car did not accelerate and continue as it would in neutral. Family in the car panic and for my fortune light traffic on an usual busy street. The check engine light did not turn on at the moment of days after the incident. A week later without a warning the vehicle engine light turn on and lost speed in the freeway. This incident could easy cause my family and other drivers a fatal accident and preventable injuries. I have found many similar incidents describing what happen to me and its awful that nothing is being done to fix it. I will contact my local representative and senator to demand action and a formal investigation about this issue. *tr

On nov 27, 2013, I was in the los angeles area on highway 14 traveling around 70 MPH on the highway w/ many cars and my speed dropped to around 50 MPH in spite of my foot downing the accelerator to the floor. I had to turn on my emergency lights and move over to the slow lane for safety. Returning home that same day on the same freeway, the car would not accelerate or transmission would not downshift to compensate for the uphill on the freeway in spite of stepping down on the accelerator- again I had to flash my emergency lights on and move to the slow lane. There is no sensor light on the dashboard for both incidents. My mechanic reported it will be hard to diagnose the transmission problem since there is no sensor light on. On nov 29, 2013, I traveled to las vegas and the transmission re

Few miles driven and a squeaking noise from under the windshield do not allow to drive with necessary serenity. After 5 intervention on the car finally they solved the problem, replacing 3 times the plastic cover under the windshield, one time completely replaced the windshield. Now that the winter and cold temperatures are back the noise is back again. Unbelievable for a Mercedes-benz. *tr

In july 2009, after filling my vehicle with gasoline (38,000 miles), I drove home, parked my vehicle in my garage and exited the interior. After exiting, I smelled the very strong odor of gasoline emitting from, what appeared the rear of the car. I did not see any leaks or any evidence of fuel, so I went inside my house. Several hours later, I entered my garage and was immediately overwhelmed with the fumes of gasoline. I checked my car again, but was unable to find any leaks. I then open my car door and the fumes were even stronger. After looking around, I noticed the odor was coming from under the rear seat. Fearing an explosion may occur, I opened my garage doors and car door and turned on several fans to "air-out" the area. The next day, I drove to the dealer and explained. The service
