Car seat and steering wheel wouldn't adjust with the key put in the ignition..this went on for three days...then the car died..had to get a jump..the service rep says the model# 320 c has a problem with the seat module failing on the passenger and drivers side..when the car was jumped all electrical was working properly and find...took to dealer and they informed me that yes the passenger seat module was bad and also needed a new battery..they also stated that the drivers seat module could go out within the next few months...the car only has 13,703 miles on it and this problem is been known to mb usa yet is not addressed.
During the five years we have owned the car it has had numerous electrical problems.on at least 5 occasions all function of the dashboard went out while driving. When the car was restarted everything was fine.seat controls have been replaced several times, and they still operate intermittently. There is no problem with the battery.there is a short someplace, and the dealer keeps saying they can't fix it if they can't see it.
The contact owns a 2002 mercedes c320. When driving over apot hole or bump in the road at speeds of 20 mph and higher, the contact stated that he heard a loud "metal to metal" noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the bushings were replaced under the factory warranty. Four years later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent technician who replaced the bushings for the second time as well as the front control arms. The front driver's side power seat failed and when taken to the dealer, he was advised that the driver's side front seat electronic control unit would need to be replaced. The repairs to the seat were made at the owner's expense. There were no recalls for the failure for his particular year, make and model vehicle. The right front turn signal also failed. He attempted to replace the bulb but to no avail. When the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent technician, it was confirmed that the wiring harness was defective. The manufacturer was contacted and provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 87,000.
The fuel gauge failed to function.it didn't register the correct gas level in the tank. The digital console light malfunctioned.itwould either not illuminate when the vehicle was started or when illuminated it will suddenly go out. The vehicle hesitated upon acceleration when driven for long distances.*nlm
"check coolant level" level warning sign was on.apparently, there is leaking of coolant some where.it was at the water pump, which was replaced on june 20, 2019.it happens again now, about 9 months later.
I have a 2003 c 320 mbnz, the radiator leaks into the transmission. The radiator needs to be replaced. This leaking radiator fluid damaged the transmission, and it has to be replaced. This problem caused a lack of power and therefore a loss of acceleration. It happened without any warning, leaving you vulnerable due to the loss of power, a very dangerous situation which may cause an accident. The car has only 50026 miles on it.
On a 2003 c 320 mbnz, the radiator now leaks into the transmission. This is going to require the radiator to be replaced and for the transmission to be flushed.this leaking radiator fluid could have already damaged the transmission, and if so, it will have to be replaced.this problem causes a lack of power and therefore a loss of acceleration. It happens without any warning, often leaving you vulnerable due to the loss of power, a potential accident waiting to happen.
This happened in my 2003 c320 at 54,000 miles.i initially noticed a light rubbing or grinding while accelerating, with light vibration. At the dealership i was told i would need a new torque converter, new radiator, and a fluid flush.the radiator fluid was mixing with the transmission fluid.after those repairs, my c320 was still shifting hard and the grinding noise was still there.it turns out the transmission was ruined as well.two replacement transmissions were needed until it was ready to be picked up.i've been told that the mixed fluids are not uncommon in this model and yet mbusa has made very little effort to answer my questions.
The contact owns a 2003 mercedes c320. The contact was unable to turn the radio off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired. In order to avoid draining the battery, she had to remove the fuse. Also, in warm temperatures, the power locks failed intermittently. Upon locking the doors, they would unlock without intent. She had to engage the power locks several times before they would actually stay locked. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where who stated that the radio would be repaired at her expense. No repairs made to the vehicle.the failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
I purchase my 2003 mercedes from carmax in 2 years ago. It had 45,000 miles when i purchased it.from the time i purchase this car i had to replace the sunroof motor, replace the shocks, replace thetruck lock, replace the fuel tank, and i had some transmission work done. My biggest problem is having to replace the low beam lights every 6 months. I suspect there is an electrical problem, but cannot completely prove it with the manufacturer. With 1 year, i had to replace the bulbs 3 times. I had to replace the front low beam bulbs and the brake lights. This is surprising since this car (under my ownership) has never been in an accident. I am so disappointed i purchased this car!

Braking system failuremy wife was driving to work. She attempted to stop at an intersection, her foot went to the floor while braking, red light and warn buzzer went off... No brakes. Luckily and thank god, she avoided being t-boned in the intersection and was able to get it into a parking lot and down shift to use e-brake. The car has only 70,000miles on it. The repair of the system sounds like it is $2500+. Not happy at all since mb knows it is a problem and should have a replacement braking system for it or repair. This is not just a old master cylinder going out. This is a whole sensor unit failing
The power steering was tight and it was difficult to control the steering wheel.

The throttle linkage and control pedal malfunction nearly resulted in a serious accident.the brakes had to be violently applied with both feet to prevent the surging vehicle from rear-ending a vehicle in front of mine at a traffic intersection.
