No quality customer service here and Mercedes doesn't stand behind the car. Brakes are soft and need replacing often(they suggest every 10-14000 miles). Dealerships aren't knowledgeable enough to do repairs(they nicked my leather, dented the hood and roof top, scratched the wood grain) and denied they did it. Don't buy from Mercedes..honda,toyota,nissan,bmw...anyone else is better.
Disappointed

This is my third MB and my biggest disappointment with the reliability/quality. The car has been in for warranty service approximately 8 times for electrical issues, new speedometer, key problems, radio reception, new back window, door lock problems, faulty fuel gauge, mirrors that readjust themselves, ticking noise in the front engine compartment and it now needs to go back for a rear windshade that won't turn off, squeaking shocks and strange noise from transmission. It's unfortunate that such a comfortable and beautifully styled car has all of these annoying problems. This could be my last MB.

Good car overall -- a few bugs

The C240 is a great road car. Absolutely wonderful on a long road trip. Comfortable, powerful--it rides like it's on rails. It's fine in the city too, but fabulous on the open highway. I've had a few problems. It had to be towed once because the electronic key failed, and currently the sunroof won't work properly. When I press the sunroof button, it opens a little way, not entirely. If press the button about 20 times I can get the sunroof open. Annoying little bugs like that are bothersome when you've paid this much.
C240 Disappointed...

Biggest complaint has been poor radio reception. Lots of static on FM and some stations do not come in at all. Other trips to the dealer have been, rear sunshade stopped working, front end bushings squeaked, both front indicators malfunctioned, front seats squeaked and drivers seat was very spongy and felt loose on turns. Also Sunroof regularly needs the resyncing procedure, My C240 has got the Mercedes Benz bug out of my system. Just wish MB could get the bugs out of their system!
Is this a MB or a BM?

all the articles that say MB reliabilty has gone down are correct. it's also too small of a car for the price.
