| Description of the problem | I purchased mercedes benz c230, 2007 from the local honda dealership, and in a week the "check engine" light came on. I brought back the car to its service division and it said that code was a problem. They did something and the light went off for a week. Then, i returned to their service center again and they said that fuel was not being supplied evenly in the engine. Suggested to go to the mercedes service center. I took the car to the mercedes dealership in marion, il. They turned of the light by updating computer program. However, in a week the light came on again. I purchased it on march 31, 2014. I went to the local honda dealership to refund my money. However, they refused. They said that this car had similar problem a year ago. The honda dealership did not check well the car's background before selling. They said that the background of the car was clean. I cannot drive this car to long distance with this faulty. It is simply unsafe. I requested to refund my payment of 13,500, and they refused. Please help sincerely |
