Yes. There is a video attached in another thread. It happens at specific speed when you press and release the throttle.

Hello, do you know if it's important to update the software version before the end of warranty ? And how to know the current version ? Thank you so much.

sounds like differential

Let's see motor has been replaced due to wrist pins, brakes rotors and front pads replaced due to pulsating when stopping, it has been making a creaking noise from door panels(they are on order from Germany), tranny is now squealing after motor replacement, wipers still stumbling across windshield.

topsider

my wipers were INSUFFERABLE, i tried every product, and then i ordered this last week and it actually worked.. and i bought Bosch icon blades since the oem ones are crap. they actually work now

flycaster

Agreed about the wipers, they do suck. In fact, MB tried everything to fix and wound up replacing the windshield. Worked for a while, but the blades went back to chattering after about a month or so. I've heard that it, in part, could be due to application of Wind-X type products??? I've got Bartender's Friend (a type of hard surface cleaner that doesn't scratch,) but I've been too lazy to use it. Going to give it a try soon...

From my understanding wipers are vin specific specific and I have to get them through the dealer. At this point I have been wondering it it's possible to get a different set of wiper arms from a model that you could use any wiper. I will order some of that stuff when I get car back

topsider

nope, i bought BOSCH icon OE, fit and work great with the stock arms.

H8onit

Ok I will look at those once I get the car back from having the torque converter replaced and the tranny serviced smh

Have a C450 which is about 8 pos. old. All of a sudden the daytime running lights won't go on. The light switch is set to "auto" and the computer display indicates that the daytime running lights are on. No icon appears in the display. Otherwise, the lights work fine. Any ideas?

dieseldoc

There is no light on dash to indicate drl are on.

ManiacGT

you've checked visually at the front?

Gungaslow

Did you have your milf sensor changed?

Were you ever able to get the squeaking fixed? My whole dash squeaks, the driver's side door rattles, and the passenger side door squeaks loudly too. My car has been in for this issue over 5 times now and I'm getting suspicious that it is not fixable.

Hello All,
I’m looking for advice on what to do with my troublesome 2015 C300. I purchased this car CPO last year with about 20k on it. In the last year I can’t count how many times I’ve had the car in the dealer getting repaired. I’ve have had the engine pulled to have the pistons rebuilt (wrist pin issue), the front axles have both been replaced (the front left was replaced twice), the front passenger seat was bleeding oil through the leather and had to be replaced and the brakes and rotors were replaced because they squeaked so loud in cold weather. I have zero trust that this car will be problem free in the future; I need to get rid of it! Have any of you contacted MBUSA with an experience like this?

First to answer your question, "How do I get rid of this lemon?" You get always get rid of it the same way the previous owner did: trading it in. This is how I got rid of the 2007 C280 W203 pictured below. As I wrote in a much longer post in 11/15 about my then-new (and very defective) W205 C300:

"This was not my first MB engine to have very basic problems [the dreaded wrist pin problem]. I ordered my W205 C300 in 10/14, and it was delivered in early 02/15. During that wait, I discovered that the V-6 engine in my 2007 C280 is included in the range of engines subject to The Dreaded M272 Balance Shaft Gear problem. That car was delivered (in Sindelfingen) in 09/06. I had thought that cars delivered that late were outside the range of affected cars. That engine is now the problem of the poor guy that got it after I traded it in."

(When that balance shaft gear goes, it will be a $3500-$7,000 repair.)

As the owner of a 2015 C300, I am all too familiar with the problems of the model year. I had almost all of the typical problems recorded in these forums, plus a few more. I have not had the sun roof problems, because my car does not have a sun roof. I have had not had the bleeding MBTex seats, because my car has leather seats. But I have also had such small problems as a sun glasses holder that would not stay shut and gaps in interior moldings.

The 2015 C-Class sedans are examples of what you get when you order the first year of a new model, made in a new factory, with an engine of a new design. I have read elsewhere in these forums that the wrist pin problem was a design problem, a mistake by the vaunted Mercedes engineers. It affected engines made in Germany also. (My W205 has a German engine.) That is, the wrist pin problems are not the fault of the American assemblers.

Your car is also an example of the old cliché about used cars: When you buy a used car, you are buying someone's problem (or in the case of 2015 C-Class sedans, multiple problems).

There's no doubt that I want the car gone and I'm looking to trade it in. My question of help is more how do I go about doing that? Simply work with the dealer or call MBUSA? Who will be able to help me more? I feel like the dealer doesn't have a whole lot of incentive to give me a good deal on my next car or give me all my money back on the current car.

I have a W205 c250 bluetech with Garmin satnav system which over a year now occasionally loses satellite signal (not on newly build roads) and shows the car driving through buildings, in parks or across water bodies, sometimes up to 300 yards away. The system then gets totally confused and starts giving the driver hectic and dangerous commands. I have made videos of what happens when the satellite signal is lost and the satnav system malfunctions, for the benefit of the dealerships.

The MB dealerships in Vienna, Austria (I work here now) tried software updates many times and installed a new SD card, but the problem persists. Video available.

The main MB dealership here told me they can't do anything more to remove the problem. Driving with this satnav system remains dangerous and unreliable.

Has anyone in my situation asked MB to take their satnav system back and refund the money?

My problem was wind noise on the passenger side (RHD car). The first dealer I brought it to told me I was imagining it so after a few screaming visits I brought it to another dealer who agreed that there was a noise and ordered replacement acoustic glass. Problem solved !!.

Hi guys!
i have a 2016 c220d with amg package.
i love the the car but it has an issue.
After I did 50km on a highway (speed 130-140) i stopped in front of the red light. The engine stopped immediately by start stop. Later I got green and start rolling. It was so strange because the car has a very limited amount of power and don’t want to change gears so I changed it manually.I mean that the engine revs around 3000 and it didn’t want to accelerate.
I went to the nearest gas station to stop,later I restarted the car and it works fine again.
This c220d is my first mb and I am worried.
Does anybody has the same problem?

W205_Merc

were you going downhill?

Mbfanhungary

I was driving on a flat highway there was no downhill.

Mbfanhungary

i have the same strange vibration from the left front.
does anybody know the reason?
my w205 has 282.000km

Imam Kafnaweez
