C300 driver seat Ticking

morning all,

So I’ve already addressed this once with the dealer and supposedly something on the sides of the seat was loose. However the noise still persists. Every time I accelerate, make a turn, the driver seat only (I’ve sat in the passenger, it’s silent) will make a ticking noise.

any thoughts? Idk why my profile says a different vehicle, I own a 2015 c300 4matic

Same with my car. I was thinking that I was the only unfortunate one. Surprised that something inside a headrest (a non movable part) will break in so many cars. I complained about it when I gave the car for 50K service (on 05/18/2018) and I got it replaced the same day. No more rattles for the time being.

i had the same issue on my 2015 c300 4matic. i believe there is a bulletin out there for the fix of the headrest (passenger or driver seats); mine was on my passenger seat. the part took forever (8 weeks) to get coming from germany BUT covered under warranty and once it was replaced the sound was gone. good luck!
