I'm wondering what's everyone's mileage their car. specifically 2015 + w205 c300 4matic. I currently have 33,458 miles on my odometer. Just curious to know where everyone is at and the maintenaince that was done.
Maintenance - oil change only so far.
Warranty work for - wrist pins, and touch command.
2015 C300 4Matic 49K I have a couple issues my rain sensor does not work so I can only turn on turn my wipers on regular and high no intermittent, when it is cold out like under 60 degrees when I start my car for the first 20 min or so the engine shakes the car very hard until it warms up and I have a sunroof issue I think I need the rails replaced but the car is not under factory warranty. Bought it used in February hope my extended warranty covers those issues. Other than that love the car! I replaced all the air filters engine and cabin and replaced the spark plugs getting an oil change next week. Man I love that lower splitter where did you get it? I need that for mine!
Bought the vehicle at 40K miles, currently the work i've done:
- Brake pads / rotors (all four)
- new tires
- custom exhaust
- custom air intake
- PCV valve replacement
- Serpentine belt replacement
- Front right bearing replacement
Work that needs to be repaired:
- bushings on front control arms need replacements (getting squeaks on bumps in the road)
- touch pad malfunctioning
- Door handle lights need to be replaced
- AC emitting musty smell

I bought the splitter off of eBay. It's not a direct fit so it will require measuring and drilling but it's a piece of cake.
Any of you have issues with the fan control. 15 c300 4matic. It takes about 4-5 seconds for the fan to kick on after turning it on. Also - I feel as though my heater isn't blowing as hot.

These cars are so typical. I'm also had and need to have more suspension work done. Every time you fix one squeak another one rears it's ugly head. I'm getting the PCV Valve fixed in a couple of weeks. Part alone is $400 and requires 5 hours of shop time according to MB. RIP to all the door handle lights. Those suckers are $500 to fix out of warranty and will go to in a few seasons.

yea the PCV is in a ***** of a spot, gonna cost you around 1500-2000 just to repair/ replace the part!
damn door handle lights ive been putting off to repair, seems like a simple job i could do myself but i dont want to mess up the MB text and that sexy wood :P
we got rough roads here in CT so the suspension has been degrading far faster than i was hoping.. avoiding potholes can only go so well until you totally destroy a few of them haha

Gosh I'm so frustrated with pcv issue. It seems to be a common problem. You would think MB would address it by now. 😑
Wear & tear:
1 set of tires
Couple oil/filter changes
Warranty:
Exterior door handle LED replacements
Both front headrests replaced
Front strut replaced for squeak
Pano roof rails replaced, roof wouldn't fully close
Returned after this repair, both front seatbelt height adjusters were jammed & driver's seatbelt wouldn't properly retract
Fuel pipe(?) under hood reseated, resolved rough idle after auto-stop & fuel smell in garage
Command update, resolved random reboots
I’m at 110k and afraid to drive the car lol because I have no warranty, it was in the dealer several times for all sorts of weird stuff but only serious issue was with a clicking noise in the wheel and oh almost forgot the collusion thing that sent it into lip mode suddenly
2016 C300 sport 4MATIC here. 60,000 miles as of yesterday. My issues so far:
Weird stereo bugs since day 1 that never got fixed.
Transmission shifts absurdly hard from 3-4 gear at 20mph and 4-5 gear at 30mph.
PCV valve failure (happened last week, covered under extended warranty)
Battery died at 2.5 years old (happened around December of 2018, not covered under warranty)
Plastic handle for lifting up the trunk liner broke (replaced it myself 3 weeks ago)
Steering wheel column squeaks when moved (greased it myself)
Other than that the car is doing well. Still pulling 32-33mpg highway. I've done all the required maintenance with the dealer. I replaced the brake pads on my own to reduce the dust buildup but i've never had to replace the rotors.
Front left CV joint needs replacement
AC failed
OBD port is broken (clips that hold it in popped off)
Bluetooth never works properly
Full front Ball joints need replacement
Clear coat on engine hood is failing
Car is a total bust, but i still like it

What were your symptoms of the CV and ball joints? I have clicking when I turn (I think CV) and clunks/pops when I turn and go over a bump (haven't tried to figure out what that is yet)
