At 94,000 miles my car started making a weird noise, before i could even get it into the shop my driveshaft completely failed (at the u-joint, where this has been reported multiple times) My car started clunking and banging in the middle of the road and became extremely unsafe to drive, as well as putting me in an unsafe situation. This been reported to happen on highways as well, which is an extreme safety concern. This in turn damaged my transmission and catalytic converter. 7,000$ in damages for me, some cases reported over 10,000$ in damages. this has been a reoccurring problem in the 2008-2015 c classes. The nature and severity of this case is unwarranted and absolutely a manufacturing issue, especially given the low milage this occurs at.

Hi, in the Fall of 2025 my 2016 Mercedes Benz C300 4 Matic, started giving off smelly fumes while my car was idling/ warming up. I registered a complaint with the Corporate Mercedes Benz Office USA, LLC in April 2026 @ 800-367-6372, after the dealership would not correct the issue free of charge. 1. Hose Clamp Replacement problems. 2. The raw fuel leakage produces strong gasoline odors inside the cabin- via the air filter, risk of car stalling and the smell could be leathal. 3. The problem was confirmed in a lawsuit. 4. The dealership would not repair the issue. 5. There were no warning lamps or messages on the dash board, the only essential issue were the smells, fumes, odors and lawsuit.

Did a winter inspection of vehicle and found rust on the rear frame. Rust has already made a hole on the subframe and hair line crack already forming, only a matter of time before it brakes.

Vehicle: 2016 Mercedes-Benz C300, VIN [XXX], approximately 52014 miles. Purchased Certified Pre-Owned in 2017. All maintenance performed at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships. On XXX, during a routine B-Service at Mercedes-Benz of Easton ([XXX]), the technician found that the rear subframe (rear axle carrier) was rusted and perforated. The corroded area is located directly above the rear control arm. The technician stated on a recorded inspection video that the corrosion would continue to spread around that area until the control arm disconnects, and described it as a safety hazard. He recommended replacement of the part. Photos and video (technician shared video link - [XXX]) were taken during the inspection and are available. I was not notified of any corrosion in this area during previous dealer services, and the vehicle showed no symptoms that I noticed before this inspection. I am concerned that a structural suspension mounting component has corroded through on a vehicle of this age, and that if the control arm separates from the subframe, it could cause loss of control. I am reporting this so that NHTSA can determine whether it is a wider problem on this model. No crash, injury, or fire has occurred.
