| Description of the problem | I got mercedes benz c300 2010 in less than 6 months, the vehicle developed power steering lock issue; the vehicle will not start and got me stranded in a parking lot of a grocery store. I researched the problem online and realized several individuals have had similar issue. I brought the issue to mbusa, they did not deny its a common issue but said based on the history of the vehicle i am not eligible for any relieve on the cost of repair. I feel it is unfair that i will have to pay for something i believe its a manufacturer default. Now i am compelled to pay $1,700 for the repairs. |
