YES. I made a post earlier on this. My kids pulled off the door lock covers in the rear and when I examined them - there were stress fractures. I took it to the dealer and they actually replaced the entire locking mechanisms in both rear doors - apparently, there is stress too in the locking mechanism itself. The dealer is aware of this problem if you take it in. Hope this helps!!!

I'm new to the forum and am currently trying to buy a C300 Sport. 2009 Prices were just released this week and I'm wanting to put a deposit down and get one of the first. I'm in the Dallas area. Any idea where I might get the best deal, even if it means driving to get it? I'm looking for C300 Sport, Steel gray w/black mb-tex interior. Automatic, P2 and Multimedia Pkg and I want to add the rear spolier.

Brakes Squealing at 5000 miles,the same as they did at 1500 miles! When I took it to the Dealer at 1500 mi. they changed the pads and resurfaced the rotors(thought this would solve the problem. WRONG!! Taking it back to them again on the July 30. Does anyone have a FIX for this problem? OH YES,My car gets washed weekly!!

Haven't heard the brake squeaking noises since the maintenance. Am just coming up on 4500 miles.
 
Only thing that I notice is what I would consider an inordinate amount of dirt (brake dust?) on the front rims. The rims are almost black between washings. I was at the dealer yesterday and they sell something called wheel wax. Reading the description, sounded to me like the wax was made just for that purpose. Maybe I will try some sort of protectant and see what happens.
 
Also, my C300 Sport is driven almost exclusively on short, frequent trips.
 
Good luck,

Lease 2009 C300 Luxury Sedan by gerrysalme

Good evening:
What is the msrp, invoice on the c300 luxury sedan with p2 and multi-media 4matic? What monthly payment am I looking at on either a 27 or 36 month lease 12k? I can eliminate the all wheel drive from the equation to lower my monthly payment. I live in northern nj. I'm not sure if there are any '08 left..
Feedback will be greatly appreciated.

If it is a relief for anyone here, I too had the same problem, paid for new pads, only for it to come back a day or two afterward. It came back off and on a few times, but I already have 35k miles on my 2008 C300 and it has not been heard in 4000 now. Hopefully, it is gone now, but who knows.....Other than that ABSOLUTELY NO problems.

Window Tint by srvlonghorn

Did anyone pay the dealer for window tinting on their C-Class? I was told it is $275. Or did you go to a 3rd party window tinter? How much did they cost?
 
Thanks.

Fixing faulty door-locks buttons. by be325
Jul 29, 2008 (7:54 am)

I mentioned some time ago that we lost the plastic door-lock knob (2008 C-300). Service at Mercedes told me that there will be no charge for the service (to re-install the button). Apparently this is a bigger job than I thought because they want to keep our car all day.
I remember that one of the person on the forum wrote that the dealer replaced the whole system due to known mechanical 'stresses'. I thought that the button came off when the passanger tried to unlock her door ..... because ......it wasn't glued properly or something. Perhaps the passenger had to pull very hard because the button was stuck? .... more than it should?
I'll be more enlightened on Friday and let you know what happened.

This has become a known issue - people are breaking the back door lock pins with regularity, and the design makes the fix more complex than it should be.
 
I expect Mercedes to address this in the future, but probably not before the 2010 model year. In the meantime, be warned to unlock the rear doors electronically - pulling up on the pins can be risky behavior.

c300 Lux Edition Sunroof problem by sawyerc
Aug 02, 2008 (4:14 pm)

Hi all. This is my first post to the forum. I have had my C300 Lux Edition for about 3 months and love it. It is fun to drive and it passed the comfort test as I drove it to the East Coast which is about 12 hours driving the speed limit. It is very easy to creep up in speed with this car and the 4 matic. Very easy on the curves, hills and straight aways. I get a new car about every 2-3 years and this one is a keeper as long as the first year bugs don't cause me to think different. Speaking of bugs. The express close on the sunroof is not working. This is the 2nd time I have had to take it in. The first time the express open and closed stopped working. This time the express open works but I need to keep my finger on the close button and it studders closed. Anyone have a fix I can try. I tried "re-aligning" it like the owner manual suggests. That worked one time but then it happened again. Does anyone have any suggestions that are not in the owners manual or short of taking it to the dealer?
