| Description of the problem | 11/28 : i drive my 08c350 to 7/11 store close to my house to pick up some for the trip the next day. The car would not start (radio, power window... Are working). I call fletcher jones mercedes benz, they advise me to use the spare key, i walk home to get the spare key, same thing. The car was towed to fetcher jones for repair, the repair cost me $1064. 78. One month earlier, it cost me almost $1800,00 to fix the camshaft sensors and the intake manifold sensor. All of theses 3 problems are well known for the c class w204 (from 2008 to 2011), but mercedes benz never accept the bad design or fault. Whether nhtsa can do something to force the company accept the faulty design to help out the car's owner ?. Thanks. |
