The PRINX tires and the dealer - Mavis Tires, Auburn Avenue, Columbus, Georgia, are equally to blame for the flat I had in traffic endangering myself and other motorists with Brand New Prinx Tires, and also the skid I had at an intersection in Columbus Georgia. It's the old story of Chinese aftermarket parts that do not fit causing accidents. Prinx pushes Mavis to make sales of their 205/55/16 even though my Mercedes C240 door panel sticker shows the brands Mercedes lists for safety as in climates averaging 39 degrees and above for traction size 225/50/16 has to be placed in the rear (205 only on the front) and I did by buying more tires I didn't need and that stopped the skidding. MAVIS also installed the Prinx tires pretending to have replaced the dry-rotted stems, I had a flat at an intersection endangering other drivers, my wheel was also damaged. I have replaced the other stems and the rear tires which did not fit and had poor traction, but MAVIS will not exchange with me for a proper fit. I think Mavis should be fined as they are endangering motorists by not replacing dry-rotted stems to pinch pennies and deliberately placing tires on the rear despite the door sticker warning for size and fit and brand. The Prinx tires are also low on the ground like a go-cart, making the car harder to maneuver. The Better Business Bureau has so many complaints against Mavis Tire, home office New York, that I didn't bother.

As a time my vehicle needs to be renewal with california dmv , the recall part has not been available from mercedes manufacture. Mercedes benz does not provide any future time frame for the recall part that will effects on my vehicle registration renewal with dmv (it also means my renewal with dmv will be on hold and I don not have any other vehicle to drive if it happens by the time the current vehicle registration expired). I already contacted with local mercedes dealer and mercedes benz us but they can not do anything with the recall any time soon before my current registration ends. My vehicle IS currently using and have no issue but I need to redeem a recall part so I can get a new vehicle registration at dmv. *tr

After filling my gas tank, there's a very strong raw gas odor inside the car while driving, and when parked. Seems stronger in the backseat. I see there's a extended warranty for this issue from mercedes benz on the e class for my year (2003). that warranty extension should have covered all classes with similar design or the same problem. The fumes are so strong I am afraid any spark could ignite the vapors. I really need your help! If mercedes benz acknowledged problems with my year (2003), it should include my c class unless they can establish the issues are totally unrelated in nature. Thank you for your assistance.

I own a a 2003 mercedes benz C240. The following day after the vehicle was refueled, there was a strong fuel odor. It has happen suddenly out of nowhere after my other electrical failures of showing up in my malfunction panel, in which I have a complaint. The srs then the esp now. Then the fuel smell. I seem to notice it more when I would idle heating up the car in the winter, then when I just turn it on and drive. I notice it at stop lights as well. If there IS any recall on any mercedes that has something to do with this or any issue, it should fall across the line of other years and models as well. Safety IS the issue and quality IS why we choose a certain make.

Takata recall. Cars with this issue should be part of the recall. I have same exact problem as the 7TH complainer.case #10574681. Srs light came on with 1 malfunction. The restraint system. I took it to the workshop to have the scan codes checked. The code reader said that there IS a problem with one of the airbags. The mechanic thinks that the airbags are disabled. But the owners manual says there IS a possibility that an airbag could go off while driving. I just read that mercedes included 814000 vehicles in the recall. My car IS not included. I think that this car might not be safe to drive. Would you please help out and have an investigation. Thanks in advance. (This I copies and pasted from a recent consumer) I didn't think anything about checking on my mercedes until I got a recall letter from BMW 2 days ago and thought wow. I need to check no the benz. I have had this same problem. First the srs light. Codes are reading safety restraint and wont turn off. Then I have my esp light that came on and when read on the computer, it had read that this was also showing up as a long term problem in the history of this cars computer system. I can pull every paper work ever done to this car. I am the second owner and my close friend IS the first owner, who bought it after law school. I have owned it 5 years. This made nervous, so I bought another car. A BMW and kept this one, because she IS a great car. However, mercedes or someone better investigate this issue that seems to be recalled in a biased manner and in safety and death possibilities, mercedes needs to take care of their loyal customers.my entire family owns and buys these and never changed, because all of our german made and shipped cars have been the best since 1980 of our 1ST one we purchased. I bought a BMW. Never again. Please investigate this asap, this IS dangerous. I own 2 dangerous expensive cards.

Dec 2013, with "our new" 2003 mb C240 traveling 55mph on cruise, I accelerated, "poof". My brother driving behind us disappeared in a cloud of white smoke from my exhaust. He had to pull over, he could not see the road. The "cloud of smoke" appears every time I use the cc or maintain a constant speed for any length of time. on a recent trip of 2000 miles, it consumed 7 qts of oil. With only 75K miles, its hardly broken in. The problem IS "sludge" built up inside the engine because of a "poor" engine design. there is/was an "active class action settlement": in 2003, by "o'keefe", to repair/replace all 1998-2001 mb motors with this sludge build up. Daimler chrysler "did not" fix the defects in the engine design, they simply shifted the "problem" to the owners by telling them which brand of oil to use. If you "google" mercedes with "sludge/consumption" or smoking, you will find scores of mb vehicles newer than 2001 that still exhibit these same smoking/ sludge problems even though they have complied with all of the new mb maintenance requirements. So the problem was never "fixed". It should have been expanded! the problem stems from the sludge built up in the motor (inside valve covers and oil drain gallery's). It does not allow oil pumped up to lubricate the rockers/ cams to return back down to the "sump". This "excess/trapped" oil has no where to go, it slowly seeps into the intake manifold where it collects, when the vacuum IS right, gets sucked into intake runners, sent to the combustion chambers, ignited and expelled as exhaust, overwhelming the catalytic converters. there are 2 problems: 1) ridiculous amounts of unwanted illegal/emissions 2) the immediate "peril" of anyone traveling behind you being instantly "blinded" at highway speeds all mb vehicles with similar motors should be immediately tested & repaired! *tr

- 11007974Complaint Headlamps leaking or fogged Cause The fogging of the headlamp is a natural phenomenon which can occur under certain climatic conditions. In contrast to a leaky headlamp, physical fogging does not result in a technical impairment of the headlamp. A leak test must be performed to determine if physical fogging exists or if the headlamp is leaky. Remedy In advance, observe LI82.10-P-078301 "Headlamps or Front Fog Lamps Leaking or Fogged". 1. Prepare headlamp/check for external damage: For headlamps with a closed system 1. Check the headlamps for any external damage and check also for correct seating of the Gore-diaphragm/correct latching of the cover caps. 2. If the headlamp exhibits any external damage, replace the headlamp. For headlamps with an open system 1. Check the headlamps for any external damage and seal off the vent then make sure the cover caps are latched correctly into place. 2. If the headlamp exhibits any external damage, replace the headlamp. Note: A headlamp with external damage is not a warranty or goodwill case. 2. Leak test of headlamp with overpressure: Connect test adapter to pressure tester. (Figure 1) Check test adapter for leak tightness. To do so, connect plug and coupling (picture 2) and apply a maximum overpressure of 30 mbar. The pressure must remain constant. If the pressure does not remain constant, use a new adapter. Seal all the outlet openings using sealing compound and the given diaphragm with the plunger (picture 3). (Picture 4) Make allowance for the different headlamp variants here (there are different outlet openings). Check if the headlamp needs to be removed to gain access to the diagnostic socket on the headlamp housing. Plug the adapter onto the diagnostic socket on the headlamp housing. (Picture 5). Apply a maximum of 30 mbar overpressure to the headlamp housing. Note: If the maximum overpressure of 50 mbar is exceeded the headlamp seal will be damaged. If a pressure drop of less than 10 mbar is measured within 30 seconds, the headlamp is not leaky and the problem is down to natural physical fogging. If a pressure drop of more than 10 mbar is measured within 30 seconds, the headlamp is leaky. Note: The leaky position can be localized with the aid of soap suds. Replace any leaky headlamps. Note: Desiccant packs can be installed for headlamps that are not leaky. See: LI82.10-P-064766 Fogged headlamp, desiccant pack installed - open ventilation system LI82.10-P-078304 Fogged headlamp, desiccant pack installed - closed ventilation system
- 11007753Complaint Headlamp or front fog lamp leaky or fogged Cause Fogging of the headlamps is a natural phenomenon, which can occur under certain climatic conditions. It does not lead to any technical impairment of the headlamp. Headlamps comply with all applicable standards. If a pressure compensation diaphragm is fitted in the housing cover, then the lamp unit is a "closed system". Remedy Headlamp: Remedy 1 Clearing fogged/condensed LED headlamps and LED rear lamps: 1. Drive vehicle into workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4 F) and connect the exhaust extraction. Note: Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine and connect battery support via a charger. 3. Open the hood or trunk. 4. Switch on the lights. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation, a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (thawing progress). Clearing fogged/condensed halogen/xenon headlamps: 1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4F). Note: Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine. 3. Open the hood. 4. Switch off the lights. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation, a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (thawing progress). Note: If there is no visible reduction in the formation of condensation, check the headlamp for a defect. (See Remedy 2) It is not physically possible to defog the headlamps completely. Fogging does not impair the operation or the service life of the headlamp. Remedy 2 A Damaged headlamp can be identified as follows: 1. Check the headlamp for external damage and that the cover caps and the diaphragm are correctly seated. 2. Check the electrical connectors of the plugs and pins. 3. Check for leak tightness in accordance with LI82.10-P-078307. The test can only be conducted on headlamps. 4. If the headlamp or the rear lamp has any external damage, replace the component part in accordance with the WIS instructions. Note: External damage to the headlamp/rear lamp or faulty seating of the cover caps does not present a warranty or goodwill case. With headlamps, it is possible to install desiccant packs if the problem occurs repeatedly. Open ventilation system: LI82.10-P-064766. Closed ventilation system LI82.10-P-078304
- 11005294Complaint Rear lamps fogged up/not leaktight. Cause Fogging of the rear lamps is a natural phenomenon, which can occur under certain climatic conditions. This does not lead to any technical impairment of the rear lamps. Remedy Rear lamp: Remedy 1: Clearing fogged/condensed rear lamps: 1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4 F) Note: Do not wash the vehicle or subject it to high-pressure cleaning before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine and connect battery support via a charger. 3. Open the trunk. 4. Switch on the exterior lighting. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation -> a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (defogging progress).
