Angry 08 300C 4matic: 3 mos,700mi., radio DEAD

I am TICKED. Sirius quits, 2 hours of diagnosis, determined that radio must be replaced. I hope to God the new design means its just a module replacement and not a dash-to-trash tear apart. This is exactly what I didn't want... like the bad old Mercedes days.

C300 (W204) w/ MM, P1, & 18"amg's
Ya that sucks and all but 3 months and only 700 miles? That sucks even more! Get like me and savage that passed the 8k mile mark in 3 months . Well hope everything does work out tho... Hate to hear about all of the MB problems lately... Anyone hearing about the ECU/Tranny/Clutch problem all of the new MB have been having? My father has had it so is filing a lemon law, apperiently everynow and then the ECU will baiscly go 'null' and when you hit the gas nothing will happen? engine will gain rpms but the tranny wont grip and once ur at a dangerous level to drop it on the tranny (4k-7k rpm) it will jump and we all know why thats reallly bad... Just wondering if anyone else has hurd this or has even expereinced it in the new C300/350?


-Mike
