I took delivery of a new 2007 mercedes benz c280 4matic vehicle the 1st week of january,2007 & on january 14, 2007 i was returning home on a us highway in seminole county, oklahoma when i approached a small (8 inches tall) house cat or possum & was unable to avoid running over the animal. rather than the animal making contact with the skid (protective) plate & falling to the pavement, the animal busted through the plate & entered into the radiator fan unit doing extensive damage (approximately $3000). upon inspection, it was determined that the skid plate was a thin plastic covering not capable of deflecting the impact of an object, but rather allowing the object to enter the engine cavity. i would request that a study be done to determine if this plate meets the industry standards. *tr |
