#1567 of 1627 C230 Coupe Experience by skm Aug 10, 2004 (6:19 pm)
I bought a new MB C230 Coupe in 2002. This has been the worst car buying experience ever.   I have now had this car in the dealership for 12 different problems. Problems such as the sunroof not working, the cruise control going out, various malfunction error messages, several electrical problems, and even rusty lug nuts. Can anyone explain how every lug nut on each wheel gets rusted on a 2 year old car when you live in the South?   The resale on this car is terrible. I attempted to trade it in. However, after several dealers offered less than half the original sticker price- although the car was deemed to be in excellent condition- I decided to try selling it on my own.   MB offered no assistance at all. They apparently do not stand behind their product. It would be a gross understatement to say that I am frustrated at this point in time.   The car handles very well, and looks great. However, that doesn't do me a lot of good since it doesn't run worth a darn.   I'm going back to what I know works- a Toyota.

#1568 of 1627 2004 MB C320 by alfonso_h Aug 13, 2004 (6:56 pm)
I got a new 2004 MB C320 for my 19th birthday at Stead Motors in Walnut Creek , and I absolutely love it. The C320 has so much power and so many great luxury features, and I just love the panorama sunroof. My C320 has Black leather, sunroof package, 5-Speed Auto., and the 6 disc cd-changer in the glove compartment.

Replying to: monty2222 (Jun 07, 2004 6:16 am) I had a horrible experience with the C-230 Coupe. In one year it has been with dealership for approximately a month. There are several problems. The sign "check engine" turns on, there are several "phantom" warning signals some of them are to be taken seriously indicating malfunctioning brakes etc. I am taking it back to dealership again tomorrow. It had the supercharger changed once besides several other services. Many times the speakers do not work and the radio goes mute. I would think twice before buying another mercedes vehicle especially the C class.
#1570 of 1627 I did buy the C320 Coupe by 66roadster Oct 01, 2004 (11:55 am)
Hey all -   I posted here some time ago when looking at the C320 coupe and G35 coupe. I started to really like the C320 after driving it more. Ordered it - waited a month - then found on the boat coming to B'ham with the same options I ordered - color and all.   Now I have some issues with it at 13,000 miles. The engine does not respond to the throttle. After a releasing the throttle it takes a full second - sometimes two - for the engine to respond. It also has develped a "surge" at constant throttle (2000 RPMish). The dealer admitted to the problem two times and the first time replaced the computer. Now they say it is normal and I don't know how to drive. I called MBUSA and they have a tech specialist calling the dealer to resolve this issue. Anyone had surging problems??   Overall I love this car and just want it to run right.
#1571 of 1627 I think the techie should be able to help... by jrct9454 Oct 01, 2004 (1:59 pm)
...my list of C-Class TSBs is in the car, which is several floors away in the condo garage, but I'm pretty sure there are a number of possible "hits" for your problem. Sounds like software in the drivetrain computer, to me...
#1572 of 1627 Getting installed nav system and phone system by alfonso_h Nov 07, 2004 (9:40 pm)
I'm getting installed the COMAND system and the hands-free communication system. I was wondering if anyone has the items in their car and if they like it. They are quite pricey options, and want to make sure they are worth the money. Replies to this message: jrct9454 (Nov 08, 2004 6:59 am)
#1573 of 1627 Re: Getting installed nav system and phone system [alfonso_h] by jrct9454 Nov 08, 2004 (6:59 am)
Replying to: alfonso_h (Nov 07, 2004 9:40 pm) I wouldn't go near the COMAND system, ever. It has been a reliability disaster for MB. They have modified it multiple times, and recently changed suppliers, in the hope of finally getting something that works consistently. Like all such problems, many owners have no difficulties and swear by it, but many others have mostly sworn at it. Beware.   The phone system has been less problematic, but my objections here are philosophical, rather than practical: I don't think any driver should be talking on the phone while the car is moving. A recent study has it that there is no significant difference between the distraction levels created by using a hands-free system versus holding the phone. That may be counter-intuitive, but I was almost run over yesterday crossing the street in front of our house by a woman whose mouth was busily moving [no one else in the car] while she tried to drive right over me in the crosswalk.   You asked....

Replying to: peterfromme (May 12, 2004 5:22 pm) Had a 02 C230 Cpe. Wonderful car on wet or dry pavement. On snow - park it and get something else. Tires are too wide to be effective in any kind of slippery condition. I traded mine on a Lexus RX AWD. Replies to this message: ikramerica (Apr 17, 2005 1:36 pm)

Replying to: bj9000 (Mar 16, 2005 2:00 pm) Let me get this straight: you weren't willing to get a set of snow tires for your C-Coupe as recommended by the manufacturer, but you were willing to get a whole new SUV to solve the problem? Hopefully, there were other reasons besides "too wide tires."
