You'd think after 100 years in business, they would just about know how to make a seal that does not leak, a switch that will work more than three years, and bushings that will last the life of the car. Plating goes back in time 5000 years, yet the chrome still flakes off.
Sounds like all the quality talk is just that.

My driver seats squeeks a bit, and the IR senser to roll down the windows from the passenger side doesn't work. That is all though. It is going to the shop tomorrow.

are you still on warranty, Adam?
I think a new IR sensor (pass. side) is around $80 for the part,
and then they have to program it or something.
I looked into this, last year, when I was trying to get my door handles color matched to the car, and needed a new cover with the little hole for that IR sensor.

Yep, it is still under warranty. I am not too terribly worried about it. It was broke before my last service, but I was in a hurry that time so I didn't even bother telling them about it. I have plenty pf time tomorrow

What I did, was take it apart, and actually the Passenger Side sensor just clips off identically to the Driver's side, so why they sell one separate and the other combined is probably just a way for MB to make more money.
But yes, the sensor does come out of the cap on the passenger side. I ended up painting my cap with MB Brill.Silver paint and MB clear coat.
Re-attached the sensor flush with the cap, and been happy ever since !

That's a pretty extensive list! I guess I must lucky - have only a had few issues with my 2003 C240 (19k miles so far). Small transmission leak (same as #14 on your list), trunk release doesn't always work - sometimes takes two presses on the remove, and strange odor in the interior when the car is washed or it rains (dealer replaced AC evaporator).
With regard to the trunk release issue (#16 on your list), was this an intermittant problem? I've had the car in a few times, and each time the dealer can't seem to duplicate the problem.

Thanks.

After you take your car to your dealer, let me know what they do to resolve it and if it worked!
Hope this helps.

any help with replacing the drivers door seal on C240 2002
purchased new door seal but no instructions and Mercedes not much help as they want the whole repair parts and labour - too much
