MERCEDES BENZ C230 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 07, 2004.MERCEDES BENZ C230 2003, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with WHEELS:RIM . 1)7/29/03 A.PURCHASE OF CAR B.SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT AM THE ONLY CAR HE HAS FOR THE C2 CONVENIENCE PACKAGE. HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT THIS PARTICULAR CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A WHEELS PACKAGE. WHEN I ENQUIRED WHAT IT WAS, HE SAID IT IS A PREMIUM DESIGN, WHICH ENABLES ME TO HANDLE TURNS BETTER. I WAS NOT ENTIRELY EXCITED AT THE OFFER, BUT SINCE THE DEALERSHIP SAID CARS COME WITH PRE-DESIGNED PACKAGES, I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR WITH THE WHEELS PACKAGE, IF I WANTED THE OTHER EXTRAS I WAS LOOKING FOR. 2)01/15/04 A.FIRST OCCURRENCE OF CAR TIRE GOING FLAT. B.THERE WERE NO HOLES ON THE TIRE; IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIRE WENT FLAT AS A RESULT OF A DENT ON THE RIMS OF THE CAR. C.I ARGUED MY CASE IN VAIN, SAYING THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT; BUT SERVICE CENTRE(INCLUDING SUPERVISORS) COLDLY SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO EXTERNAL INFLUENCES AND THUS IT WAS NOT EVEN COVERED IN THE WARRANTY. THEY MADE ME PAY FOR A NEW TIRE AND A RIM (INVOICE ATTACHED). 3)03/17/04 A.I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE SERVICE CENTRE, AS I FELT THE CAR WAS WOBBLING. B.THE SERVICE GUY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO ANOTHER DENT ON ANOTHER TIRE. I TOOK THE CASE ALL THE WAY TO HQ (MONTVALE), BUT TO NO EFFECT. C.WORSE STILL, THE SERVICE CENTRE MADE ME PAY FOR THE TIRE, RIM AND THE ALIGNMENT OF THE WHEELS. THEY CLAIMED THE REALIGNMENT WAS NECESSARY, AS IT WAS THE IMPACT FROM THE DENT THAT CAUSED THE MISALIGNMENT, AND THUS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. D.I WAS PISSED, AS I FAILED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR, IF I HAD TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING. IF EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG ON THE CAR WAS AS A RESULT OF UNEVENNESS OF THE SURFACE (WHICH AGAIN I CANNOT CONTROL), THEN ITS AS GOOD AS HAVING NO WARRANTY. 4)05/06/04 A.MOST RECENT CASE OF A FLAT TIRE B.CLEARLY, AGAIN, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY HOLES ON THE TIRE. HOWEVER, I AM PRETTY SURE; IT WAS CAUSED BY A DENT ON THE RIM. *AK .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mercedes Benz C230 2003 problem was reported in JERSEY CITY, NJ.

C230K COUPE AT 73,000 MILES WITH SUDDEN VALVE GUIDES WORN BAD CYLINDER,COMPRESSION LOSS RECENTLY IN APRIL I WAS CALLED INTO MBZ FOR A RECALL ON A VACUUM HOSE, HERE I AM A FEW MONTHS LATER AND I¿M DRIVING AND MY CAR STARTS SHAKING ,IDLING STRANGE AND THEN I TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE FIGURED IT AT FIRST GLANCE IT MAY BE WORN VALVE GASKET SEALS AND I SAID OK LET'S CHANGE THEM AND PUT IN NEW PLUGS TOO...THEN HE CHECKS THE COMPRESSION AND DISCOVERS THAT IT IS HALF OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE, WHAT? WHY SHOULD THE CYLINDER HEADS BE WORN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR NEARLY $3000, ...THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TOO MANY OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ON HERE AND MBZFORUMS FOR THIS 2003-2005 YEARS. LOSS OF COMPRESSION IN ONE OR MORE CYLINDERS. THIS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED BY MBZ AS A DEFECT AND SINCE WHEN DO THESE ENGINES FAIL AT 50,000OR EVEN 80,000? I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY THEM, THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT THIS MILEAGE!! DEFECT,FLAW IN DESIGN...THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND ADMIT IT AT MERCEDES HEADQUARTERS. PLEASE HELP US OWNERS , THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS, MENTIONING VACUUM HOSE RECALLS ON THIS 2003 YEAR BUT SOME DEALERS HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT THESE ENGINES ARE DEFECTIVE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THESE VALVE GUIDES/CYLINDER HEADS. WHY IS IT THAT THERE IS AN INCONSISTENCY ON HOW THIS PROBLEM IS RECOGNIZED BY THE DEALER AND HANDLED. SOME ON THE FORUMS HAVE SAID THAT THE DEALER SCREWED THEM IF THE 50,000 WARRANTY IS OVER AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE PARTS ONLY PAID FOR BY THE DEALER AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE WHOLE THING PAID!! TOO MANY OF THESE C230K ENGINE CYLINDERS/VALVE GUIDES ARE GOING BAD, THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND MBZ SHOULD BE CORRECTING THIS.
