2013 Leased C250 Accident - Car Burnt
Hello All -

My wife was in an accident where she rear ended an SUV. She hit the SUV at around 15-20mph, airbags not deployed. Our c250 caught on fire and burnt down in about 45 min. I am baffled that the car caught on fire.
Are there any issues anybody is aware of on this particular car, please let me know.

thanks

Was that standard in the 2013 model year?

good catch. I assumed it was 2015+ since it was posted in W205 forum.
