MB Sub Frame Rust and Break
If this has been addressed, please forgive me. I scrolled through thread after thread and didn't see a post about it.
This past autumn (2023), the subframe on my 2013 E350 4Matic sedan (w212) rusted through and broke on the driver's side. I took it to my local dealer, Astorg MB in Charleston, WV. Instead of gouging me, the service writer advised me that MERCEDES BENZ IS NOW COVERING SEVERE SUBFRAME RUST AND RUST THROUGH BREAKAGE UNDER WARRANTY REGARDLESS OF MILES AS LONG AS THE CAR IS 20 YEARS OLD OR NEWER WITH NO DEDUCTIBLE OR COPAY. To my knowledge, it is all models made by MB. I just wanted to post this in hopes it helps someone who was in the same situation I was in. They ended up replacing both sides of the subframe. They will not, however, cover damage caused by the issue (worn tires, etc.). I was told that it would have been close to $6,000 to $7,000 to repair it out of pocket. Thank you, MB!
Again, I hope this helps someone. Best regards!
