Yeah, I love my 320 and sneer at the Kompressor 230. Prior to having the O2, repaired, I had the front fender and the left light repaired at Beverly CoachCraft, which is a repair shop in Los Angeles that specializes in Mercedes Benz auto repair. I was a lucky woman that day and I'm very thankful for the blessing. Can anyone be of assistance to me? Long story short I'm about 45 min from home and decided to call the road side assistance. No Review Date: 10th October, 2002 Year of manufacture 2001 First year of ownership 2001 Most recent year of ownership 2001 Engine and transmission 3. I was very leery despite his promises.
I am wondering what contributed, in anything to this fire. I was also very concerned that a part was broken. The windshield wiper fluid reservoir has a hole in it. Car still under warranty so it didn't cost a dime. Several people are opting to unplug the module rather than absorb the repair cost of one and possibly two of them. I have to unplug the seats because they drains the battery. I wanted Mercedes Benz to investigate so I would know what caused the fire.
Over the next few days, I was told not to touch the car, so I didn't. Beyond this the car still holds an impressive 216! I took it to the local dealer where I purchased it. The passenger side inside door handle broke. The pictures don't give any clues except the fire was right in from of me. Electrical parts air bag sensor, hinges, rattling of chassis when the car goes in an even pavement. The air and heating vents stopped working after the warranty expired.
Finally, I believed that the C320 has more technical or electronic errors. I am not just angry; I am shocked that Mercedes didn't care that my car caught on fire, right in front of my face. The company was not willing to acknowledge this problem even though the dealership indicated that they had never seen this happen to their cars except many years ago. But now it sticks and I manually push it back down. It seems like the dealer does not repair anything.
The electrical issues are horrible! When he was finally reached, he said Mercedes wasn't going to get involved. I asked him if we should have the car towed to Beverly Hills Mercedes Benz, this was all really getting scarier, and he said no, the car would be fine without the Stepper Motor, that there were 9 other Stepper Motors still on the car and that it would be incredibly expensive to replace that one piece. I can't help wondering if they told him not to speak to me about what happened on that day. And when they finish the current repairs, I get the car back. The last time we took the car in, they told us it was fixed and of course it's not. It's been in the shop for over a week and a half now, and the group of experts at the best Mercedes Benz dealership that I know of hasn't been able to determine the cause. I'm in the process of contacting some of my contacts in Washington D.
I could go on and on about other problems. But, honestly, could you sell a car to someone knowing that you were in it and it caught on fire right in front of you? I hope that this seemingly minority view of this car will give someone pause when denigrating it or encourage a possible buyer when faced with so much negativity. And no one will tell you the cause of the fire? I think I was just bored of the Honda but this experience made me realize that I will never buy a Benz again. I replaced that and my battery, but the drainage returned shortly after. That is the situation I am in. Now the engine light does not switch off after ignition. And still makes me smile every time I drive it.
What if there had been children and innocent victims in the cars around me, not just me? I hit my brakes but t-boned the car, hitting the passengers' side of the car head-on with the front of my car at 35 mph. And if Mercedes Benz cares right now, they can potentially save other lives. I am in the process of paying someone to take it to the dealership now because I was driving home from work yesterday and the heater, lights, air condition and defrost was turning on and off. I have several much cheaper cars with about the same Kilometers, but it hardly needs any attention other than the normal services. It sounds like you traveling in an old bus in Mexico made of wood! Mercedes should recall all C320 to correct mistake.
Thank God their policy is 3 days you can return no questions asked. No recalls because they must lobby a lot. . This actually messed up my 3. If he had a cause for this fire from looking at the dash with all of the fire extinguishers foam or powder all over it, I wish he would tell me the cause.
Mercedes needs to recall this car. All this way less than 100k miles. Year of manufacture 2001 First year of ownership 2001 Most recent year of ownership 2002 Engine and transmission 2. Months later the key would not open the door unless I was close to the front doors. Therefore I wasted over a month's time, money and effort trying to fix a simple, warped piece of plastic.
