Filed Aug 22, 2008 · Seats · 50,000 miles · CA

Seat control modules are staying powered with the key removed from the ignition in 2001-2003 mercedes benz c320's. In reviewing other owner complaints on benzworld.org, this is a common problem causing the battery to die and the driver to be stranded (and potentially worse problems). Mercedes calabasas charged me approximately $1200 to replace both the passenger and driver's seat control module and approximately $175 to replace the battery.
