| Description of the problem | I was turning on my mercedes benz c300 2009, when it suddenly stated take your ignition, therefore i made a phone call to mercedes benz roadside assistance. Once the technician arrived he clearly stated it was the steering however he states they do not have any warning signs. I am very confused because 09 c300 did not have any prior warnings, it always tells me everything on the screen. This repair is around 1000 and the vehicle has been in a recall but the dealership i purchased it from is from chevrolet and they do not accept froing vehicles. I truly believe consumers should not have to pay for something it does not warn you for, specially since you are purchasing a german car not american. |
