2003 Mercedes-Benz C230 Fuel system Problems

“Vehile is an automatic. Vehicle jerks hard when lightly applying gas. This can be compared to starting in first gear (manual transmission) when not fully depressing the correct combination of gas and clutch. This happens when traveling from a dead stop at a traffic light or pulling into a parking space. Have had several near misses in hitting other vehicles.”

“Dt: the contact states the airbag system failed twice in the past ten months. The onboard computer said srs warning did not drive at that time,. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. There was a code reset in the computer. This happened again, and they replaced a fuse box in the dashboard. The gas gauge has also gone out twice in one month. The dealership drained the gas and reset a computer code. When it happened again they had to replace a part in the gas tank and reset the computer code again. Both items were working correctly at this time.”

“The contact owns a 2003 mercedes benz C230. The vehicle would only start after several attempts. Sometimes after the vehicle was started, it would fail and not restart. The dealer stated that there was a crack in the pcv hose. The cost for the repair was $404.27. The same day the vehicle was repaired, it failed while approaching a red light. The following day, she returned to the dealer and they stated that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The repair cost was $389.82. The current mileage was 47,022 and failure mileage was 46,646.
