2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class User Reviews

High-priced Junk. Stick With Bmw, Honda Or Toyota. — I bought the car under the Mercedes certified pre-owned plan because I believed I was getting reliability - I did not. Within a few months of purchase, a loud popping developed in the right front suspension. I took it in for repair and was told the mechanic "forgot to tighten down a bolt." A few months later, the same sound developed in the rear suspension. Diagnosed as the same problem. So much for Mercedes' expertly trained technicians. Later the transmission gaskets were leaking and had to be replaced for $1,000. The a bearing in the transfer case failed most likely due to a faulty transmission pump. I had to replace the entire transmission assembly because that is "the way it was designed." Another $7,000 for a car with 56,000 miles on the odometer. Problems with the valve body and tranny pump are well documented on this vehicle. I have heard Mercedes re-designed these units but that is no help if you aer stuck with the early design. This is not a good vehicle.
