2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class consumer reviews

Insulation on wiring is fragile and falling off causing short circuits. Should be recalled. Here is another coverup. Wish they would fix this issue. Please

I went on truecars.com where I got my car from salesman Mike in Arlington, VA. He went above and beyond in his service and helping me get this car and I am very satisfied and really like the car. It was in excellent condition and I would definitely recommend it.

It was in super nice condition...very friendly help and a very professional Dealership...Eddie was Great...I would recommend going there for your car needs so go online youll find what you need

I have now owned this vehicle for 7 months, and it is by far the best car I've ever owned. The handling is crisp with minimal body roll, the turning radius is outrageous, and the power is good. At over ten years old, the interior is showing minimal wear, other than the very typical issue of the seam splitting in the MB tex on the driver's side. The 7-speed automatic transmission is very smooth in Comfort mode, which I rarely use, and very responsive with nice feedback in Sport mode. It is truly hard to believe I am driving a ten-year-old car with just over 100k miles. The four-wheel-drive was great during the winter. With a lower center of gravity than most four-wheel-drive vehicles, this car felt very stable even in the worst conditions. This car can be had for a reasonable price, so it evens out the cost of maintenance. I had always heard that oil changes were expensive on German luxury cars, but never knew that service only had to be completed every 10k miles! Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with this vehicle, and hope to have it for many years to come! If the unfortunate day comes that I need a new vehicle, it will definitely be another C-class!

All of these Mercedes owners complaining about quality control and problems they're having. A true Mercedes owner should know you don't buy one assembled in the US, but order one built in Germany. Big difference in quality. (hate to say so)

Plan on spending an extra approx $1,000-$1,200 for the ignition / steering lock replacement! Called the dealer and the local Mercedes shop and BEFORE i COULD FINISH A SENTENCE- They told me that they replace these all month long !!! Total BS- Owned 4 Mercedes and will never buy one again ! They are cheating people and making money even on the repairs !! No recall really? SCAM

ITS LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, AND DRIVES WELL, BUT THESE CAR AS LOTS OF ISSUES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALL BUY MERCEDES BENZ USA. THESE ARE PUBLIC RECORDS OF COMPLAINT TO NHTSA, HUNDRED OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE NOT BEEN ADDRESS, THE CUSTOMERS GETS STUCK WITH THE REPAIRS, THAT RUNS IN THE THOUSANDS.AND SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS REPEATS ITSELF, AND AFTER THESE DEALER REPAIRS THE WARANTY ARE ONLY GOOD FOR A YEAR, AND THEN YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. E.G. OF SOME OF THE COMMON ISSUES ARE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM,STEERING LOCK ISSUES, KEYS NOT RESPONDING TO IGNITION, STEERING COLUMN LOCKS UP. ESP UNIT ISSUES EIS ISSUES, AND THESES ISSUES MORE THAN ONCES. MERCEDES BENZ ARE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE SINCE THEY ARE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED IN WESTERN EUROPE ANYMORE. THEY ARE JUST A MONEY PIT NOW.

This is low efficiency with gas and also low mileage problem is maintenance would be very high. Having different tires front and back so if you put tires which runs for 50K can be used only for 25K. So you spending 50% more on tires. I would advice not to buy because there were many factory recalls on this model and year so most likely your car won't run for logner period of time

The car's very comfortable and super reliable. Drives like no other but that's where it all ends. It's by no chance a performance vehicle. The 3.0L I6 engine lacks power even with the "sport mode" engaged

Easy vehicle to drive with the power you want . The big motor was great on fuel and stil gave you all the electrics for a new age vehicle
