Here is the update: Mercedes agreed to pay for the parts if I would pay the $2,000.00 labor. Even though I felt I should pay zero for this problem caused by a known defective part, I did pay and the car is running perfect. I have told several of my…
Any progress on this? The problem is wide-spread and I was quoted $7,500 to repair 2003 E-500. Only after having wrecker in front of dealer, to take elsewhere, they agreed to repair for $2,000. After recently becoming aware of this problem, Mercedes…
I just found out today that I have the same problem with my 2003 E 500 with 76,000 miles. The dealer wants $5600.00 to replace the radiator and the torque converter. Nothing was said about the transmission yet. I will have the radiator saved and I w…

Thanks for your email. As you can see there are many of us having costly repairs to our expensive vehicles and we cannot get any help from MB - even though they are aware of the defects.....they refuse to be responsible...I am going to try to get yo…
Repair Mercedes http://merc-repair.ru//
Pictures are wonderful and if you can keep the radiator that will be good too. I hope your car is running the way that it should now. (after $4600.00) I will keep you posted.
Cindy I will try and save the radiator. My mechanic has taken pictures of the entire process. My transmission could not be saved. My total bill is $4600. That was for the radiator, transmission, and torque converter. Please keep me posted on any new…
Paul: Please keep us apprised of how your case goes. I wish you the best of luck, although luck should not have anything to do with it, MB has done a lousy job with the C Class autos. I think that you are right. We could have bought a Honda or Toyot…
I will bring Mercedes UK to Court in the next couple weeks. I bought my car brand new by end-November 2005. The C-class (as well as A's, B's and some entry-level E's) are not considered by the MB Board as Mercedes, but just third-graded cars sold to…
Ryan: Thanks for your email. This is basically the same thing that happened to me. My car had about 54,000 miles on it when the antifreeze starting leaking into the radiator. If you can KEEP YOUR RADIATOR. I have mine in storage. I think that we wil…
I have a 2003 C 240 wagon, I bought last august with 39k miles. It now has 53k miles and on Monday the transmission began to give me problems. I had the car towed to garage and thats when I found out the ugly truth about the faulty radiator. I was i…
Scott, hopefully, you still have the paperwork you received when you brought the car in for the 'check engine' light. What has Mercedes told you about why the engine seized? They can fail due to low coolant, low oil, or catastrophic mechanical failu…
Thanks Patrick. This is a wonderful email. I have never received this much information from the Benz dealer....(HA HA) I am going to check all of these points on my car. Thanks again. Keep in touch/take care.
