2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4dr Sedan
362-horsepower 5.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
| 82300 mi US $1300 |
Had a seal on a sensor fail on my transmission which leaked fluid all over this electronics panel that sits under the tranny which causes the tranny to go into "limp mode" stuck in 1st gear. |
2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4dr Sedan
268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 35300 mi | Transfer Case was replaced under warranty. There was a deep sounding rumble when doing sharp turns out of park spots or during u-turns. It was also apparent at times when going in reverse. |

228-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 51000 mi US $350 |
Excessive vibration at idle. Motor and transmission mounts replaced. Did not solve problem. Shop felt it was a transmission issue. |
| 154000 mi US $900 |
CV joint boots ripped. Replaced cv axle joints. |
| 81700 mi | Oil leaking from transmission. Bad seal from repair of balance shaft sprocket. Seal repaired, no charge. |
2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4dr Sedan

| 58000 mi US $1250 |
Valve body replaced. Speed sensor failure. |
| 72000 mi US $1800 |
Transmission refused to shift until re-booted. Valve body and transmission cpu board were replaced. Mercedes covered the cost of the valve body under "goodwill". This left an $1800 bill for labor and the cpu board. |
| 65000 mi US $600 |
noise in left front tire. Has not been identified and corrected by dealer yet and has gone through 3 scheduled maintenance yet and they cannot find it. |
2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4dr Sedan
201-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD
| 36000 mi | The gear shift had trouble going into reverse so I took it to the dealer. You can imagine my surprise when they told me it needed a new transmission! Fortunately, it was still under warranty so I'm not stuck with the $6,000+ bill. |
| 39000 mi | The reverse gear started acting up again, so I took it back to the dealer. The previous time, the only had to replace the reverse gear itself. This time they replaced the entire transmission. |
| 45000 mi US $1500 |
bad solenoid. 1500 bucks - caused engine to not shift gears. |
| 49000 mi | replaced the control module - now it works great - |
