Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seat controller modules, they constantly drain the battery when the car is off. This is a very very common problem with mercedes C Class. The controller drains the car battery to the point were the car cannot start, and continues to do this if the car is not driven everyday. Obviously having a car battery get sucked below 3v is not healthy for the battery, and in the end everyone with this problem has to replace their battery many many times.”
