2016 I took my 2007 mercedes benz c230, into mercedes benz to see why the check engine light was on. My car was purchased with 37k miles on it at the time I purchased it. How could such a major issue, arise in car so early in it's life. Mercedes stated, that they make the best quality of cars in the world! They stand by this slogan. However, why would such a major issue occur in a car with such low miles/usage? As I understand it, matters of this magnitude ideally does not occur in such a quality car, let alone in the cars infant stage or would likely happen at all! I was told sometime ago that mercedes knew of this issue. I also searched the internet and discovered so many owners are having the same issue around the world. Mercedes has refused to correct, its defect it was well aware of! Who allows mercedes benz, the platform to see these cars to consumers, without resolving the issue. Considering a person's financial investment in their purchase! Can someone help me, understand how this has happened.

There are issues with the engine and the car will not start. There's a class action against mercedes in regards to this same engine issue. The car was in motion when it cut off and another time after being stationary the car would not start. There was never a check engine light or any signs that indicated engine issues before the engine completely failed. I also received a notice about my airbag having a recall about a year ago and this issue has not been resolved.

My check engine light stays on which mercedes benz stated its the magnetic stabilizer . Which was stated that a recall maybe coming. This causes a malfunction in having your emission to have a faulty reading. I have less than 120,000 on it . When I have taken to the dealership or service the light still came on. To my understanding a class action was taken against the company by this model was skipped over.

After I fill the tank up with gasoline the car smells like gas! Especially in the rear on the inside and out. Huge safety and environmental issue. Seems to be very common with this year and should be made a recall. Fuel vapors are unhealthy to be breathing and should not be release into the atmosphere. Not to mention my gas mileage has decreased! It should be a recall and not a "wear and tear" issue because the car cannot even register the issue no cel (check engine light) appears but yet the fuel is obviously leaking. I read into it and many people say it has to do with cracked housings on the fuel pump and sender? Please make this a recall!! Huger safety concern what if I crash and the car ignites from the inside!
