What Do You Do When Your Seats Bleed? Call Mercedes
It doesn’t look like Mercedes will escape the recall hell that has plagued the auto industry for the past two years. This week, a few of our forum members started to see stains and residue bleeding through their new C-Class seats.
Now from the looks of it, the “bleeding effect” is most likely the glue Mercedes uses to keep the seat cover permanently attached to the seat backing. There’s nothing harmful about it, but it’s definitely not something you want to see on your brand new Mercedes.
As of right now, our members are only reporting the effect on the man-made leather seats, and that in some cases the residue disappears after a short period of time.
It seems the cause for this residue or bleeding effect is when the car is out in sub zero temperatures and quickly heats up.
Mercedes is now aware of the situation, due to our forum members being so awesome, and replacement parts are already being shipped to dealers.
