Description of the problem	On december 23, 2019 i found out the rear sub-frame mount rotted out causing the control arm to disengage from the suspension. According to my garage, the control arm has been hitting the fuel tank. When driving the car, it would randomly swerve, particularly when braking, when making a gentle turn of the steering wheel while at 60 mph and when changing lanes on the highway while in cruise control. It felt at times as though the caliper was bad or at other times the wheel was loose. Other times, it felt like the power steering was going. Mercedes benz estate motors in golden's bridge just replaced the airbag from the recall on nov 19 and they did not notice the sub-frame was rotted out when they did their safety check. My garage had to do some extra testing and driving to figure out the problem as it is not visibly apparent without detailed inspection. This is an extremely dangerous defect and this model should be recalled to correct the problem. I see in 2014 mb recalled their 2008 c class for this same reason!!! ln consumer contacted the dealer. jb
