2002: “This 2002 mercedes c32 is a deathtrap! The electronic components, rear & forward sam, fuel pump, etc, fail at an unusually high rate. The most recent incident involved a fault in the primary fuel pump. The mercedes dealer identified the fault as a faulty plastic power connector on the pump and a failed fuel pressure sensor. They then proceeded to tell me that mercedes benz north america would not sell me a replacement pump; instead, they insisted that I purchase an entire new fuel tank and wiring harness for $3200 parts and thousands of dollars more fro labor. …”
