Top Warranty Problems With C43

Please list all the warranty issuse you have brought up to your dealer with regards to your C43. My warranty is coming to an end soon and want to be sure I have not forgotten any small or large details to inspect and ask for replacing.

I'm sure there are a number of C43 owners out there that will be curious about your experience with a fix for the tranny shifting issue- seems to be one of the few complaints with the car. Happy to say mine doesn't do it much, but there seem to be a number of stories about it. Maybe one day MB will step up and provide a fix for this one... at least maybe one of the dealerships will provide a good fix for someone and other owners can push their own dealership for the same fix.

Let us know if you get anywhere with that one...

Like I said on the other thread, got some satisfaction, however, they never fixed the rev limiter problem or the new whine that started to occur after they took it was apart and put it back together.

Bwahahaha....
This is their fix

Beat you into submission...

You would think, huh??

This is as far as I got

Sorry to be so glib about it, but I am just fed up. Not neccessarily with the shop, but mostly with MB for their obvious stonewalling of a very real problem.
