2012 MERCEDES BENZ C250 Air Bags Problems

The model/year Mercedes-Benz are well known for experiencing this/these particular issues. My research has shown that these year/make/model vehicles are experiencing the same type of mechanical failures nationwide. The issues all relatively begin around 75,000 miles. I've only had my car 3 years putting 30000 on it hardly driven/cared for **Issue Found:** Oil was leaking onto the ignition coil and spark plug of cylinder 3. **Source of Leak:** Valve cover gasket failure. **Recommended Repairs:** - Replace the valve cover gasket (to halt the oil leak). - Replace spark plugs and ignition coil (which were contaminated/damaged by oil). **Relevance to Warranty:** The valve cover gasket is only covered if it fails as a result of an internally lubricated engine part causing damage. Ignition coils and spark plugs are maintenance items and are not covered by warranty plans. **Required Repairs (Identified Mechanical Issues)** - **Coolant Pipe Leak – $850** **Issue:** Coolant leaking from a pipe on the side of the cylinder head. **Relevance to Warranty:** Typically not covered unless it pertains to a failure in a covered system such as the water pump or cylinder head due to an internal breakdown. This is likely classified as an external plumbing component, which is not included. - **Oil Feed Line Leak – $600** **Issue:** Oil leaking from the side of the engine, traced back to the oil feed line. **Relevance to Warranty:** This is not typically covered unless the oil feed line is part of the oil pump system and has failed due to an internal issue (usually regarded as an external line). **Other Items Found (Worsening Issues)** - **Timing Chain Rattle / Cam Adjuster Noise – $6,000** -**Issue:** Rattling sound during startup. **Diagnosis:** Noise emanating from the timing chain and camshaft adjusters. **Relevance to Warranty:** This is covered under Secure Plus, as both the timing chain and camshaft adjusters are recognized as internally lubricated par

1) cranshaft and camshaft position sensors, timing problems and it has to be replaced this is a common damage in Mercedes Benz 2012 c250. 2) this put in risk my life because it can brake the engine in a highway and the car could be off.

MY MERCEDES HAS A RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAGS. I DO NOT LIVE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A MERCEDES DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ORANGE PARK, FL WHICH IS AROUND 85 MILES AWAY.

TAKATA RECALL - WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, I WAS INFORMED BY THE CARMAX DEALSHIP THAT THERE WERE OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THEY BRIEFLY EXPLAINED THAT ONE OF THE RECALLS WAS A DEFECTIVE PART, INVOLVING THE AIRBAG, COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS WAS A HUGE CONCERN TO ME, AS I WAS PURCHASING A MERCEDES-BENZ BECAUSE IT WAS AN EXTREMELY SAFE CAR. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY AND THAT I COULD TAKE THE CAR DIRECTLY THE AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES-BENZ DEALERSHIP TO HAVE PARTS REPLACED AND THAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED. AFTER SIGNING THE PAPERS TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE, I CONTACTED SEVERAL AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIPS WITH ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE RECALL REMEDIED. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD NO LUCK IN DOING SO, AS EACH OF THE DEALERSHIPS INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME. I CONTINUED TO CALL EACH MONTH TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED WITHOUT ANY LUCK. KNOWING THAT THERE WAS DEFECTIVE PARTS IN MY CAR AND THAT IT COULD CASE SERIOUS DEATH OR INJURY TO SOMEONE REALLY UPSET ME. I USE MY CAR FOR WORK AND AT TIMES, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSPORTING CLIENTS. DUE TO THIS OPEN RECALL, MY CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED UNSUITABLE BY THE COMPANY I WORK FOR AND NOW I HAVE LOST A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY, SPECIFICALLY DUE TO THIS RECALL. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE WRONG INFORMATION AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR, KNOWING THAT THERE IS DEFECTIVE PARTS. MY JOB HAS REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO WORK UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER HAS REPORTED TO NHTSA THAT IT HAS BEEN FIXED.*DT *TP

WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ( RMB OF ATLANTA, SANDY SPRINGS, GA ) TO GET IT FIXED IN MY AREA THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL JAN, 2020 FOR THE AIR BAG TO BE FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A SAFETY & CUSTOMER VIEWPOINT. WHY HAS MERCEDES ISSUED THIS REPLACEMENT NOTICE WHEN THEIR DEALERS CANNOT FIX IT.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE MY LAST RECALL NOTICE OF 1-10-17 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER - 17V017 & MANUFACTURING RECALL NUMBER 2017010002) TO HAVE MY CARS AIRBAG REPLACED - NOW THAT TAKATA HAS FILED CHAPTER 11 AND THERE IS NO REMEDY - WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Mileage: 59,000

TAKADA RECALL - YESTERDAY 10.26.17 I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL LAS VEGAS MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP [FLETCHER JONES]. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL FOR TWO YEARS AND THEY HAVE NOT YET REPLACED ONE TAKADA AIRBAG TO DATE AS THEY HAVE NO PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY HAVE NO PARTS FOR THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAG. THIS LEAVES ME AND/OR MY FAMILY AT RISK OF INJURY IF WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG STILL IN MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN CALLING SINCE MARCH 2017 TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED, AND STILL NO SOLUTION. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO DRIVE WITH ME AND CLIENTS AS WELL. I NEED THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, OR NEED THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP TO GIVE ME CREDIT FOR A NEW VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONE THAT I AM DRIVING. I EXPECT MORE OUT OF MERCEDES. I HAVE JUST BECOME PART OF A LAW SUIT AND I PLAN ON PRESSING THIS ISSUE UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION. PLEASE ASSIST.

I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THAT MY DAUGHTERS CAR IS ON A LIST. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RECALL LETTER FROM MERCEDES LETTING ME KNOW TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. FURTHERMORE, THE SALESMEN NEGLECTED TO INFORM ME THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED. HE READ EVERYTHING FROM THE CARFAX REPORT BUT NEGLECTED TO READ THE PART ABOUT THE RECALL. GREAT TO KNOW I BOUGHT A CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT COULD KILL HER.

TAKATA RECALL; I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATORS ON JANUARY 10, 2017. CALLED TO SCHEDULE RECALL REPAIR WITH MERCEDES BENZ OF SUGARLAND IN SUGARLAND, TEXAS. INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME AND I WOULD RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MERCEDES BENZ COMPANY WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE AND REPAIR WOULD BE SCHEDULED. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 23, 2017 AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE PER DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I'M CURRENTLY OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIR BAGS AND CANNOT GET ANY REMEDY. HELP ME.

"TAKATA RECALL," MY MERCEDES BENZ C250 HAS DEFECTIVE FRONT AIRBAG, THAT WAS RECALL SINCE JANUARY 2017, BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAVE YET TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS TO GO ON, PUTTING THE DRIVER AT RISK.

TAKATA RECALL - THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT LAST YEAR AND AVAILABLE PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL! I TOOK MY 2012 MERCEDES IN FOR ITS MAINTENANCE . AT THIS TIME, I WAS APPROACHED AND TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST DUE TO AIRBAGS. AT THIS TIME, I WAS INFORMED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS SEVERELY CONCERNED FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THIS WAS HER CAR! I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A FIX. THAT I COULD TAKE THE RISK OF MY DAUGHTER BEING SEVERELY INJURED. WOW!! LET ME ASK YOU WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE! I THEN OUT OF FEAR, TRADED MY 2012 MERCEDES IN. TOOK A HUGE LOSS AND BOUGHT HER A NEWER VEHICLE. HER OTHER CAR WAS PAID OFF. I HAD TO PUT A DORK PAYMENT ON YET ANOTHER CAR WITH A 2 YEAR FINANCE. WHY SHOULD I BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! I DIDN'T PUT THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR. I THOUGHT AS A MOTHER, I WAS PURCHASING A SAFE RELIABLE CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER. I'M OUT $32,000 ... WHO'S GOING TO JUSTIFY THIS? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO EAT THIS COST! I DON'T THINK SO! I NEED TO BE REIMBURSED THE DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE COST TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. WHY SHOULD THE MERCEDES DEALER BE ABLE TO PROFIT OFF ME AS WELL? THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO FIX THE AIRBAGS THEN TURN AROUND & SELL THE CAR @ THE USUAL JACKED UP COST. THIS IS NOT FAIR! SOMEONE BEST FIND THE ANSWER.
