2012 Mercedes-Benz C300 Other or unknown Problems

“I started hearing noises about a week ago while driving. Last night while driving home in the evening traffic, I braked and car violently jerked and veered to the right almost hitting the car in the front. I took the car to a shop this morning and they found that the rear subframe had collapsed due to rust and advised the car was extremely dangerous to drive.”

“I drove over an object on the highway and noticed my car veering left and wobbly when turning. A week after, it is squealing like a load of piglets in my trunk whenever I go over a bump, then my battery light came on and I took it to the shop and contacted my insurance, who denied my claim saying it was 'wear and tear'.”

“Rear subframe rotted out and broke due to corrosion. Rear crossmember is broken and needs replaced. My safety as well as the safely of other was put at risk. Loss of control at high speed could have been deadly. Luckily, I wasn’t going very fast at the time of incident or else who knows what would have happened to me or bystanders. Independent service center inspected and confirmed that incident was due to corrosion in the rear. …”

“I was driving on the highway and came to a sudden stop and the car fishtailed putting our safety and the safety of others at risk. I brought my car to a mechanic and I changed my tires. When I went for a wheel alignment the mechanic found that the K bar subframe was corroded and cracked. There was no warning prior to the failure. I had no idea there was a problem because the K bar is behind the snow flap and was hidden.”

“My rear subframe has corroded and has snapped, which is a major safety issue as while driving when I come to a stop the rear end of the car swags sideways. It do not stop straight.”
