| I am the owner of a c-230 4 door sedan vin# wdbrf40j93f386357. i have an issue that i was looking into addressing when another major issue just arrose that i need help from the manufacturer who i have contacted but not received a response. 1) last week i decided to quote insurance and make a change to allstate. once they put in the vin# major issues came. the price was way different then what i was paying with mercury. to make this short, after talking to my broker at mercury, it turns out my 4 door has the vin# of a 2 door coupe. i called beverly hills ltd where i purchased the car new. they did nothing. i have the original temp registration from the day i purchased the car new, and the dealer typed coupe not four door and on the lease agreement. i did not notice this. here are my issues. the coupe is more expensive on insurance - i have been overpaying since 2/2003. 2nd, am i paying a fair lease rate if the vin# is for another body style. this car has been nothing but nightmare to deal with since the day i purchased it. it has been serviced 8 times, transmission work, 2 computers, camshaft, new radio, idle issues, brake system failed, and so on. it's a complete lemon. it is going in next week again. i have only 21,000 on the car, and drive my 2nd car more a 79 300sd mercedes as it is more reliable then this new car. i need somewhere, someone to go to, any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much, darren weingarten - phone or email *jb | |||

| Consumer disappointed with her problematic, unreliable and potentially unsafe vehicle. *ph the window seals scratched the glass tint. the radio reception was poor and the keyless entry system only worked at close range. the technician indicated that the tint was likely the cause of the poor reception and inability to use the entry system at further distances. the dealer installed scraper seals to alleviate the scratching. the vehicle shut off five times in a 45 min period and all the service lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken tot he dealer who determined that a cylinder had misfired and water was in the spark plugs. the dealer replaced he cylinder head and all valves. the bas, esp and abs light illuminated while driving. there was a lack of airflow power when the a/c was used. the vehicle hesitated when accelerating. there was a strong mildew odor coming through the vents. cd skipped when turning corners. a rattling noise could be heard from the engine while the a/c was on. *nm | |||

| A year ago, i brought a c230 compressor at mercedes-benz and since then, i had to repair my a/c twice, the abs light has been fixed twice in one week, and now my transmission is acting out. although i have brought my car in a great deal, the problem(s) still exist. in one month alone, i brought my car in about 3 times to fix almost the same problem(s). my last visit was this past week, and just today, i got my car back and the transmission still feels funny. it jerks when i step on the accelerator and for some reason, i feel more unsafe now then before.*ak | |||
