| Description of the problem | 2006 mercedes benz c230 68k miles. Error message states "srs restraint system malfunction. Drive to workshop". I am told that my entire supplemental restraint system has been deactivated until this is resolved. Repair costs around $700 to fix and i do not have an extra $700 laying around right now. From reading online, this is an extremely common/widespread problem with mercedes and should lead to a recall as people's lives are at stake when driving a vehicle without working airbags or pre-tensioners. |
