Description of the problem	i was driving to work from parkville to baltimore city and my car began aggressively jerking. I drove my car on friday morning through the tunnel and the jerking was not as aggressive. I drove home on friday afternoon from work and i could tell that something was still jerking but continuously. Saturday morning my car was jerking so aggressively, i called owings mills mercedes and left it there. I was notified today, may 27, 2015, that my car needed between $1900 and $7500 worth of work. My coolant is leaking on the transmission. If my radiator can not be fixed, i will need a new radiator as well as transmission. I have doing research and this seems to be a common problem with the c class mercedes. I feel this should be a recall issue.
