| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have had a string of problems ever since i purchased my 2002 mercedes c240. i have had the panic alarm fail in a parking lot (fortunately i had pepper spray), i have had my seat retract all the way back and get stuck (i have to drive it to the dealer with pillows and blankets behind me) and have had to turn off that car feature so it won't happen again! my key stopped unlocking my door due to a defect in the key so i was having to leave my doors unlocked. my electrical systems for doors, sunroof, etc. comes unsynced about once every other month, my sunroof motor had to be replaced, i had a leak in the back of my car soaking the back seats, cup holder quit retracting, fuel line blockages that cause the car to run badly, they had to replace the entire latch essembly in my truck, and other little strange things. my car has been in the shop a ridiculous number of times in its first two years, and after the panic alarm incident, i am too afraid to drive it, and mercedes just refers me to the parts people when i complain. i live a hour a way from a dealer and end up having to spend the day in the waiting room while they fix the problems. enough is enough. the problems with my car have been reported to my state's attorney general's office.*ak |
