“I have had a string of problems ever since I purchased my 2002 mercedes c240. I have had the panic alarm fail in a parking lot (fortunately I had pepper spray), I have had my seat retract all the way back and get stuck (I have to drive it to the dealer with pillows and blankets behind me) and have had to turn off that car feature so it won't happen again! My key stopped unlocking my door due to a defect in the key so I was having to leave my doors unlocked. My electrical systems for doors, sunroof, etc. …”
