I dreamed about mb now its the nightmare
Ive always wanted a reliable good car so I didn’t want bmw because it’s not that reliable so i bought mb c300 w205 15 thinking that this is the perfect car for me in my country the c300 cost more than 45k US dollar in the first day of owning the car the problems started to appear the wrist pin problem then I noticed the transmission problems 1-2-3 jerky shifts all the noise and weird noises coming from the interior after a month of ownership when i get to 60+ miles speed theres a wired sound like air is leaking into the interior then changing the battery then the auxiliary and all of that is within 5 month of ownership with a car that is build in 2015 and have less than 40k miles iam very disappointed and angry it will be my last mb of all time fiat is more reliable that this peace of crap I can’t believe mb are building cars for more than 120 years and they cant get the most important thing right like the transmission and engine iam going to sell it and buy anything but mb i just wanted to say it becaus Its driving me crazy and i dont want people to be tricked with mb like me sorry for the long post

I never had any major issue with a merc but I also never buy a car that hasn't been in production for atleast 2 years... I did it once with bmw and everything you think of broke down in the first 4 months.
Best moments is starting the year before a facelift is released.
But yea the days mercedes was better quality then the rest are long gone.

May I ask how many posts you are going to create on this same issue? You have been posting about this vehicle since 3/12/19. Stop already 
, you seem to be having issues with pretty much everything on this vehicle and your unable to get them fixed in your home country. Sell it, set it on fire, or live with it. I think the means of repair are beyond what you are going to be able to do locally.

You sound unfortunate. I have a 15 with 50k miles and it runs flawlessly. Yes I had to get warranty work done over a year ago, but it’s been great! I drive it a lot too. No rattles or sounds. Transmission is smooth. Sounds like you got a busted one.

Left click on the username, it will show you a list of the member's posts. So about 2 minutes to link them. I've seen them when they come up from time to time, same user, same issue lol.

I've had no issues with my 16 past a few fit and finish items that were done under warranty.

guys dont be so mean, he's just looking for some help.
sucks that youre having these issues.. maybe the motor needs to break in some more? I bought my C300 at 20k miles... im at 65k now and i havent had any issue at all.

I would agree with you if it were not the same issues in multiple threads and the general sense that he is trolling rather than seeking assistance.

The problem is he's not looking for help. If everything from his previous posts are true, then his car has serious mechanical issues that cannot be solved over the Internet. He has already stated elsewhere that M-B mechanics in his country/area cannot provide the level of service required.
The best advice was already given (multiple times). Cut your losses and sell the car on.
I've only had my '16 for four months now, but it has had zero of the issues noted by Bassam in his posts to this forum.

'..........and i dont want people to be tricked with mb like me' - does this mean you will tell a potential buyer of your car about the problems you claim to have? That's mighty nice of you, but..........meh, I call it bs.
