That is complete BS. I dont care what has happened to any other type of car. If this happened to me I would seek help through mbusa as stated before. If then they dont do anything I would never give the company another penny. I agree, things can happen to any type of car through bad luck, but it all boils down to how the company deals with it. With anything like this you always have to keep pushing and never give up tp get your way.

As Johnhef said, contact MBUSA and good things might happen. If they dont resolve it then screw them. I love mercedes so much, but this would write it all off for me. Hopefully there is a better resolution then 6k.

Good Luck Bro!

That's a sad story. However, I'm not a big fan of the C-Class either. So, good luck with it.

In my particular case contacting MBUSA turned out to be a waste of my time and worthless when seeking help getting a fuel leak on my '99 E300TD resolved.

Sorry to mention that I owned a 2004 W209 CLK 240. It also developed a transmission problem - just out of the three year warranty period. MB wanted many thousands to LOOK at the transmission just to provide a quote to repair it.

After a W140,W210 and W209 (all bought new) I will not buy a modern era MB again. I have gone back to the "Age of Engineering" with a W124. ( not to say that it's the most reliable car - at least it's much cheaper to fix and I can do it myself)
