What 2007 Mercedes Benz C230 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I purchased a 2007 mercedes benz c230 sport from a private seller. I soon learned that the vehicle was in limp mode. The dealer said it was the transmission conductor plate. After hours of research, I discovered several owners of a mercedes with the 772.9 transmission have been experiencing the same issue. I ended up paying $2500 for a new tcu from mercedes benz.
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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercedes-benz c230. When slowing down the vehicle by applying pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle jerked and hesitated to stop. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred several times when the vehicle was coming to a stop. In addition, the contact stated that the transmission lost power and was unable to shift into gear. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
The car stays in first gear and I have to stop and pull over. Put it in park and it jerks very badly going into park. Then I pull off the road, stop, turn it off and back on. Then everything goes back to normal, until it happens again. I read on-line of many people having this same issue and there is no recall. Imo this is a safety issue and I do not feel comfortable with loved ones in this car. My dealership is reapiring the transmission as I write for $1400+. I thought mercedes meant high quality/reliability. At least they can admit their mistake and fix it for the people suffering before someone dies. My car only has 63,000 miles and has been serviced by the dealership iaw service manual.
At 115,000 miles the vehicle started experiencing issues shifting from park to reverse or drive. Once in reverse or drive, it won't shift back into park. The car must be turned off in neutral position or wait up to 5 minutes before shifting back into park. Once engaged in reverse or drive there is no problem with the transmission's operation.
2007 mercedes c230 with 65661 miles began to lose power and not shift into gear. Towed to a mercedes dealer where they said it was a mass air sensor and 1000.00 bill. Within a few weeks same problem, loss of power and unable to shift. Now they replaced the conductor plate in the transmission-1300.00 bill. This seems to be a very common problem in this specific year make model for mercedes not to handle.
My car went into limp mode going down the street, had to have her towed to starmotors, the code came up as internal speed sensor and transmission control module, it is known to mbusa about this problem and they need to fix it and not cost out of my pocket
