"check coolant level" level warning sign was on. Apparently, there is leaking of coolant some where. It was at the water pump, which was replaced on june 20, 2019. It happens again now, about 9 months later.

Mercedes benz possible recall / extended warranty for fuel system... Involving a c class 2003 with same engine as the e class. The car fuel system is totally messed up, will only fill a half tank and runs out of gas because the fuel tank system is not working correctly. Car will not fill. Only one tank taking and sending fuel apparently. Dash is messed up, lights out, fuel system totally messed up. I almost went off a cliff in the car, slid backwards on a hillside when the car ran out of fuel unexpectedly. No gas, no power, my car went backwards, brakes not working, i went into a ditch and almost into a steep hillside, very scary. A car branch saved my demise, holding the top of the car and kept me from going down into a ravene. Dent on the back roof is still there. Mercedes benz refuses to acknowledge any problems although the problem is apparently prolific in cars this year and type. Same fuel system on a c320 as an e320 same year. Same engine too. My mechanics are baffled, no one can fix it, mercedes shops don't want to help, no one can help.

Braking system failure my wife was driving to work. She attempted to stop at an intersection, her foot went to the floor while braking, red light and warn buzzer went off... No brakes. Luckily and thank god, she avoided being t-boned in the intersection and was able to get it into a parking lot and down shift to use e-brake. The car has only 70,000miles on it. The repair of the system sounds like it is $2500+. Not happy at all since mb knows it is a problem and should have a replacement braking system for it or repair. This is not just a old master cylinder going out. This is a whole sensor unit failing

I have a 2003 c 320 mbnz, the radiator leaks into the transmission. The radiator needs to be replaced. This leaking radiator fluid damaged the transmission, and it has to be replaced. This problem caused a lack of power and therefore a loss of acceleration. It happened without any warning, leaving you vulnerable due to the loss of power, a very dangerous situation which may cause an accident. The car has only 50026 miles on it. *tr
