| Description of the problem | My rear sub frame is broken due to rust on my 2009 mercedes c300. It was causing major wiggle while breaking and i thought it was the rotors. The car has 98,000 miles on it and has always been stored dry in my garage. Upon looking online, it appears this has been a problem with numbers mercedes c classes upon 90,000 - 100,000 miles. When i took it to the shop for them to look at the rotors, they were surprised it didn't completely break and cause a wreck. They are having me tow it to a body shop. |
