Mercedes-Benz C-Class Reliability through March 31, 2013
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Sep | 2011 | 37000 | First odometer entry | |
| Dec | 2011 | 37000 | 350 | Sometimes when car slows to a stop transmission shifts early causing a jerking sensation via engine braking. Fix would require valve body change for $1500. Software updates can help, looking into DIY. Will probably end up living with it. The stereo sound has gone out twice already, but always comes back after the ECU resets itself. Satellite reception is poor - apparently a poor ground connection in the antenna is common, but require removal of the headliner to fix. stereo stopped producing sound, but restarted again. This apparently is a fail safe to protect the audio system, and occurs when a component has an issue. Diagnosing difficult so living with it. Apparently this is not uncommon. |
| Mar | 2012 | 39000 | 90 | Check Engine light kept going on and off. From online research I determined that this is a problem with the CAM sensor magnets. There is a known issue with the part, which has been redesigned. Replaced with updated part. |
| May | 2012 | 40300 | 0 | Snaps on chrome plastic bezel surrounding shifter broke, causing shifter to move around. Research indicates that this is a fairly common issue. Solution is to buy a whole new shifter cover assembly or repair it with paper clips. |

| Jan | 2012 | 70700 | 1700 | Check engine light came on. Car idled rough. They Removed and Replaced the Intake manifold. Check Engine light came on. It was diagnosed as a bad Catalyst. Covered by emissions warranty. Feel that intake was cause, but MB won't admit to this, as intake would then also fall under emissions warranty. Upon test drive for the other problem, it was found to be "missing." A computer malfunction caused the misfiring, which caused the cat to pack up. |
