Minor pain due to soft OEM brake pads.Mercedes C Class What are the most common problems and failures of the Mercedes C Class and how to solve them? The only minor issue so far has been a couple of tail light bulbs failing.īrake dust on the wheels requires that the wheels (especially the front) be washed weekly. Mechanically the vehicle has been very solid with only routine oil changes (which I perform myself using the MB approved synthetic oil and fleece oil filter).Īt 60K miles, I had the transmission fluid and filter changed at our local MB dealer ($365.00). My wife, who is not very tall, loves the way the car "fits" her, and she loves to drive it. As a result, the best we can manage is around 26 to 27MPG on the highway, using premium fuel of course.Īs far as comfort goes, the cabin is well appointed, but on the small side for folks like myself who are on the tall and thick side. The car drives very well, handles very precisely and performs adequately.ĭue to the small (2.6L) V-6 engine and transmission/rear end gearing, it revs on the high side at highway speeds above 65 mph. This vehicle is primarily driven by my wife as her daily driver. Faulty tail light bulb and loose turn signal lever.
