Speed dependent front end noise and vibration. Inspection by mb authorized dealer indicates: "front transfer case coming apart". Mb customer service indicates that the problem is a "one off" but offered a 50% discount on repair. Repair cost is $7000. Suspect that this is not a "one off" and the problem is more frequent given the immediate offer of a discount on repair. Failure of the front transfer case at any speed can and most likely will cause wheel lock up, engine failure, loss of power assisted controls (steering and braking), loss of electrical systems (air bags), and possibly created an accident with fatalities.

On 12/22/12 at approximately 9pm I was parking my car having arrived at my destination. I had almost finished parking when my mercedes benz c300, 2010 lunched forward without warning and hit the truck in front of me resulting in a chain rection. With that truck smashing into the vehicle infront of it. I honestly believe that the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own and therefore must have malfunctioned. I went searching and found similar complaints from a couple of other owners of benz c300 2010 model.I called mercedes benz USA and reported and was told that I need to take the car in and pay for it to be diagnosed. They insisted that they have not heard of any similar complaint. I am concerned that this may happen again.

On july 18, 2011, I was waiting in a line of traffic for a signal light to change, and as the vehicle in front of me began to move, I took my foot off the brake and my 2010 mercedes benz c300 lurched forward and rearended the vehicle in front of me. The forward motion was very forceful and the impact was heavy. This was unintentional acceleration, as I had not depressed to accelerator and while I am deemed at fault I feel this movement is definitely related to another incident in this vehicle reported on may 21, 2011. Please refer to odi # 10403924. Mercedes benz corp says there is nothing wrong with this vehicle. I would like an investigation to this problem, since there is evidence others have reported the same problem.

Vehicle jerks forward when coming to a stop. Hood was not secure and sensor never notified driver. Seat stopped working. Bluetooth is faulty. The jerking occurs every week, at least every other day dealer cannot duplicate problem so no repairs done. Bluetooth not fixed.
