new 2016 c450 air conditioning failure
just got a new 2016 c450 two weeks ago and the air conditioning stopped working. anybody else had this problem? tough to drive in the middle of the summer in 90 degree heat without air conditioning. though i shouldn't be surprised coz my '04 e500 had issues from the start, i thought this time it wouldn't happen again. guess i was wrong. and now it begins again...

it took a week for the dealer to make the repairs but i finally got my car back. i was told most of the time was spent waiting on the parts to arrive. i was given an invoice but my copy didn't have the labor and parts cost as the repairs were made under warranty. i glanced at the dealer's copy and it think it showed the ac compressor was about $1000. my invoice says the ac compressor, expansion valve and receiver dryer were replaced.
ac now works though i'm concerned my car had to be gutted to make this possible. it seemed like fairly involved process. if anybody knows what replacing the ac compressor entails, please let me know.

I also have a problem with the AC or it's design. All windows are foggy after a couple of hours of AC ON, windshield is a disaster! Need to wash windows from the inside every day... This car needs way to much attention. Wash windows and wheels every day isn't acceptable.

My last warranty ticket on the S was $6,000. I'm just used to it.
