| Description of the problem | I bought a new 2016 c-class mercedes benz . I had the car for less than 24 hours when the engine light came on. I immediately took the vehicle in and was told that they do not have a fix for the problem. It is a problem with the ambient airflow. The engine does not work properly, causing a rough ride. When trying to accelerate the engine will stall and then shoot forward. |
