Transfer case needs to be replaced

Filed May 23, 2017 · Steering, Transmission · TX

I got mercedes benz c300 2010 in less than 6 months, the vehicle developed power steering lock issue; the vehicle will not start and got me stranded in a parking lot of a grocery store. I researched the problem online and realized several individuals have had similar issue. I brought the issue to mbusa, they did not deny its a common issue but said based on the history of the vehicle I am not eligible for any relieve on the cost of repair. I feel it is unfair that I will have to pay for something I believe its a manufacturer default. Now I am compelled to pay $1,700 for the repairs.

Gear shifter will get stuck in park when parked on a slight incline, such as a driveway or small hill. I absolutely have to park on a flat surface if I want to get my shifter out of park. I have to tap on the top of the shifter and continue to try to get it out of park. This can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes and has happened multiple times. Very frustrating and I've only had the car a couple of months. Now I have to put money in to fix it already. Why is there not a recall on these vehicles with this problem? From my research, it seems as though plenty of mercedes has this problem.

While driving the vehicle, began hearing a humming underneath the car thinking it might have been the tires. The sound got louder as the days went on. Took vehicle to be serviced and was told that the problem was the transfer case and that the solution was a new transmission approximately $8000-$10000. Was also advised that other owners are having this same problem yet mb refuses to acknowledge currently.
