Description of the problem	I own a 2004 mb c320 and i have noticed that when it reached 40,000 miles the car itself started malfunctioning from the rear window shade wouldn't go down for which i only use occasionally; the air conditioning would turn on and off; the temp gauge is inaccurate; the passenger visor came off; the center console wouldn't shut close and the. I went to mb for the yearly service- april 2009 and they wanted $1300. 00 for the window shade; i think $500 for the center console and $125 for the visor. And they also wanted $800 for the diagnostic check for the blower and i have to pay whatever parts that needs replacing. Now the car is almost 60,000 miles and the check engine light came last week. I notice the light comes on when i start the engine and it fails to turnover. The check engine light would eventually go out. The same thing happened again yesterday when it didn't start the first time, the cel came on. I checked the gas cap and it looks tight to me. I have also noticed that the radiator would make a very loud and unusual noise when the car is stopped. I thought i made a right decision of buying a mercedes benz due to the fact the car have a great reputation. With the economy nowadays and the amount of money the mb service are charging i think it's ridiculous for a fairly new car.
