The contact owns a 2006 mercedes-benz c280. While driving 35 mph, the driver's side air bag deployed without warning or impact. Prior to the failure, the contact heard a ticking noise while driving. The contact was temporarily blinded and burned by the deployment. Medical attention was required. The contact was not able to take control of the vehicle and crashed into another vehicle. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a local auto dealer to assess the damage. The failure mileage was 109,000.
The wire harness insulation within the headlight assemble is disintegrating leaving the wire, it's designed to protect, bare and exposed to contact with adajacent wire also missing insulation and now bare. This has created an unsafe condition which will result in short circuiting, loss of headlight illumination, possible fire and circuits damage.
Engine began knocking while driving. Balance shaft malfunction. Caused vehicle to become non-drivable. Local dealer quoted 6k to fix. Contacted mercedes benz which indicated it would offer no assistance in repair of this problem. Internet research shows a consistent problem with the year and c-class vehicles. Other research indicates a defect in the balance shaft used by mercedes benz in this model and other models. Mercedes benz issued a service notification about this problem in 2008. Problem occurred on this vehicle while relatively close to home prior to being driven out of town. Had the problem occurred on the road, the driver and vehicle would have been stranded. A non dealer mercedes mechanic stated there was an 8-10% failure rate on the balance shafts in question. Mercedes benz needs to provide assistance to the owners to resolve the ones that do fail.
An engine air filter housing to mass air flow sensor seal tear caused the engine to surge and the car to buck forward instead of braking when the brakes were applied.failure to break resulted in this vehicle rear ending another vehicle.luckily the vehicle speed was low so no one was injured or killed.the sensory system failed to detect this issue until the tear worsened and the problems it caused were bad enough and continuous enough to trigger the check engine light (took approximately 1 month).mercedes could not diagnose or find the problem until the check engine light went on. During that 1 month period the failure of the breaks to engage/engine surging/car bucking issue occurred 2 more times.luckily no accidents or injuries resulted from these events.i have spoken to mercedes us and my local dealership about this issue.they refuse to acknowledge this as a safety issue or accept responsibility for it.
The check engine light keeps coming on and my car jerks. It sounds like the same problem everyone else is having with the 2006-2008 c280 mercedes benz.
While trying to merge on the highway the car response slowly when trying to accelerate to highway speed the engine over rev's but no power the same happens when changing lanes. While reversing out of a driveway the car locked up both the engine and steering wheel would not i had to turn in on and off several times and the put it back in drive before i was able to finally reverse this incident placed my life in danger because when the car locked up half of it was on the driveway and the other half in the street impeding traffic. I am nervous about driving this car because it doesn't respond as quickly as it should which could cause an accident.
Check engine light came on and would not turn off. Took vehicle to an authorized mercedes dealership i was told the issue was the timing in balance shaft of the engine.according to themechanic mercedes benz was well aware of the balance shaft issue at the time the vehicle was built, but the problem only shows up on some of the c-class models and due to the mileage on the my vehicle there was nothing he could do. If this is an issue mercedes was aware i shouldn't have to pay 6k to fix.there should be something mercedes should do to help owners with the cost of repairs. I had no indication this was a problem other than the service light appearing out of no where two months after my service visit which was two months prior to the check engine light coming on.the mechanic told me i could continue to drive my car with the engine light on if it doesn't bother me , however i'm afraid the car will quit running. I was planning on taking the car out of town on vacation next month i don't want to get stranded on the road in the middle of no where.
The balance shaft is faulty and my engine was shaking.there have been several reports of this happening in 2 types of engines and mercedes benz will not cover it.there is class action lawsuits going on about all the people having this problem.
Vehicle check engine light keeps coming on with a p0015 code which indicates a camshaft problem.numerous complaints found online regarding same year, make and model for this vehicle.it could cause the car to stall, not shift gears and other issues suddenly.
The car has a balance shaft issue like many w272 engines...we need to find a way to get mercedes into another class action lawsuit...this issue will cost me about 5000 dollars to fix...otherwise.
I was approaching an exit and the vehicle engine was revving with rpm's high however there was little power to move forward. I pulled the car(coasting) to the side of the road turned it off and restarted it unable to think what else to do. On another occasion the same thing happened with the same result this problem has occurred at least 4 times.. This is a safety issue because if i had been on a congestedhighway with no acceleration and nowhere to pull off the result would have been an accident. The engine shakes upon starting it and the check engine light comes on and offintermittently. Causing me to be unaware of a real problem. I cannot afford to keep taking this car to check out why the check engine light keeps coming off and on to be informed its annoying but to deal with it.
