We have a 2002 mercedes c320 wagon. The automatic driver and passenger seats drained the battery completely where the car will not start. We have disconnected the module seats so that it will stop draining the battery. The replacement for each module system for the seat is about $500 or more. I believe this is a manufacturer's defects as it is dangerous if owners are not aware of the situation and leave their car park for a period of time will cause the owners not able to start their car, especially in an emergency situation.

I have experienced the same exact problems with transmission not shifting properly as well the power seat module draining the battery with numerous jump starts. This occurred just two weeks after gladly purchasing my "five point certified" 2002 c320 wagon. Mercedes benz of greensboro also would not fix chipping on the front bumper. States because the vehicle is low profile the bumper sustained this extensive peeling as a result. Peeling is located from left to right top to bottom. Service dept manager acknowledged the fact that dealership did a poor job at repairing the pre-existing damage prior to selling. After one carwash the chipping was very noticeable and increased with each wash. The salemans would not agree. Paint still peeling after numerous attempts. I have refused to pay for a pre-existing problem, but will probably incur this expense just to trade the car. The trunk makes a horrible rattling noise while traveling at low or high speed. Numerous lights replaced over the past 2 years. Rear view mirror will not lock into position when interior of car exceed 60-70 degrees because rubber seal becomes too hot. Also at stated temperature the digital message board becomes obscure and unreadable. Tires needing to be replaced often. Emissions problems, truly the list goes on. In fact, the reason I'm posting this complaint is because I have the time to. My car is sitting outside and will not start. Possibly fuel pump/sensor- a $700 repair. I'm tired and have reached my limit with the numerous problems, truly. Personally feel injured after sustaining such unfair treatment and inconvenience after numerous attempts to negotiate repairs. Prayerfully expecting recalls and full restitution for the money tied up in this vehicle, be it from the manufacturer or dealership. All documentation of service available upon request. The integrity of mb along with its reputation has proven not to be one of it long stated history. Sadly, I am disappointed.

I own a mercedes benz c320 and lately I've been experiencing some problems, few weeks ago, my car wouldn't start all of a sudden. I jump started and I noticed 2 faults .. Esp warning light and light sensor ,for some reasons something was draining my battery, I went and purchased a brand new battery and 2 days later it did the same thing again, I was told that it was a seat sensor that caused it,s o we unplugged the seats, everyting seamed fine for like 4 to 5 days,while I was driving,the car just came to a complete stop would not move,the engine light came on, I've come to realize that I'm not the only one with this problem, I hope the government would do the right thing by recalling those vehicles.

My vehicle would not start, so I received a jump, two days later when I did not drive the car it would not start received another jump and replaced the battery. Did not drive the car from 7-4 to 7-8-07 and car would start. Went to mercedes dealership on 7-9-07 and was told that it was a common problem on my car that the seat modules do not power down when the car is off and that it is draining the battery. Went to several mercedes-benz forum websites and found that there were hundreds of people having the same problem. Once the seat module are replaced for $1200.00 that the seat modules would continue to drain the battery and would have to be replaced again and this became a cycle. Please visit websites www.benzworld.org/forums or m-benzforum.com or type in google or yahoo mercerdes benz forum and connect. Here you will see a list of people with the same problem.
