The bracket that mounts the washer filler neck to the top radiator mounting beam breaks off and leaves the filler neck to just flop around. This bracket has broken twice on my C320. The last time I just secured it with a nylon tie. The part that breaks off is the screw hole, and just leaves the screw sticking through the beam not attached to anything.

Brilliant Silver C240
Happened to me

I filled in the washer fluid last week and noticed the exact same thing. I will get it fixed when I take my car in for the next service. But it is disappointing to see something this basic break. My 9 year old Celica never did that.

Yep, got mine replaced on Monday. Pretty sh*tty design, if I do say so myself. Um, my Honda's $2 tank has been working for 14 years without any problems, but I won't make comparisons, since someone with a "very reliable" MB would probably chime in. (of course, he's a defector, but you can't point that out to him).
