2013 C300 have transmission issue or others issues

Hi everyone, recently purchased a 2013 c300. Can someone tell me more information about the 2013 c300. Specifically the about the transmission. From doing research I learned about the transfer case issue with the 722.9 transmission and other issues with it for previous year cars. Has Mercedes fixed these issues for 2013. Also is there any other issues with the 2013+ model?

Thank you very much in advance, hope this thread can help Me and others who are looking to buying the same model

You're probably thinking about front differential bearing failure problems on the 4 Matics.


No 4 Matic = no problem.


Just stick with Mercedes recommended transmission service intervals and you'll be ok.

No 4matic = no problem

if you DO get a 4matic, the 7g+ doesnt have a long history of failures, so I think you'd be fine.

That's a relief, how do I tell if it's a 7G+?

Actually, its 2012+ that have the "Blue Efficiency" package (Mine has the badging on the fenders). Later models do not, but, they were all DI engines with the 7G Tronic Plus transmission after 2012.

Thank you, these where exactly the answers I was looking for, apologies if I wasn't clear with the questions. My car is out of warranty in June, so was worried about the transmission
