Both offered me free tint - C&C = Premium Guard, HS = Wingard

Is either of these good? i've been using 3M crystalline so far

Problems faced so far (C300 2019 FL):
-Front left and right suspension out of balance (went to sc to recalibrate)
-claiming front side window glass.. still in process since Dec 2019
-was offered to get the wheel locknut (RM421), to be installed when sent to claim the glass on Dec 2019, car returned after 3 days as the claim was rejected, so they took video of the sound, but was also told, i already have the locknut so refunded the payment, but the thing is, never noticed if it was there before, i dont have the unlocker.. does that mean i cant remove the rims anymore? To change tyres or do balancing etc? Sigh..
-Squeaky motor from steering column when leaving car (the auto seat and steering move to allow driver to exit car function).. happened once.. then gone..
-Steering column malfunction sometimes, moving the electronic stalk wont move the steering position.. intermittent
-Weird sounds from suspension.. happened on one day then gone..
-too much engine oil warning.. out of the blue.. happened once then gone..

Are these problems common?

So far quite mixed feelings with this ownership.. and the after sales service..  considering to let go and get the Volvo S60 T8 instead..

Yours is pre-owned or new unit? How can there be anti-theft nuts fitted if your car is new? Plus you don't have the key to remove them. You may want to check with your SA.

Hello. I bought an e350. I bought it in 2019 from Hap seng.

The car was only released in Malaysia in March 2019 so most probably the one you looking at is recond from somewhere overseas.

For me so far zero issues with car *touch wood*. Maintenance free under promo but it’s not that much too if pay. Around 1-2K a year. Shouldn’t be an issue if can afford Mercedes

The new one more expensive because 2019 they brought most of the s class safety features to this car. Only e class with autopilot and most of the safety features. One of the few at that time with a real radar based safety system. I booked it so bloody fast 😂😂

I only experienced the safety systems once when a motorcycle rear ended me, before he hit the car applied full brake ( I was stopped but only braking lightly ) and pulled me into my seat

After crash my car just small scratch

AEB also prevented many collisions especially when I’m changing temperature and not paying attention

Hi,

Any guidance of electronic system repair/replace for Merc B180 2009 model giving error about transmission and one mechanic says, gearbox is fine, it's electronic issue, could cost less than 5k ? Is it too high ? Where can I find the price of such system and can it be repaired for lesser cost ? Error message attached. Seems like gears aren't change, it stays on gear 1, engine can start, car moves as well, but slow. After one day, error disappears, but after driving, it appears again and slows down. "Transmission Consult workshop"

Thanks.

Hello! So far I’m still very happy with the car!!

I think one of the best pros has to be the safety systems, they are truly world class.

I used to have an X5 too, suspension kept giving errors and the headlights of the X5 we too high and narrow. Driving in the Mercedes like I’ve been given a new set of eyes.

Car has always had a weird breathing sound when in idle, Mercedes’ said it’s the normal sound of the coolant pump and it’s not an issue unless you sit in extended periods of time in the car without music or ac turned on.

I think the only problems I’ve had with the car are to do with the tyres. I live in Petaling Jaya and when we first got the car, within 2 weeks of normal driving on Jalan university and the front tyres were bloated and needed replacement. Kept happening many times and after the 5th replacement my uncle recommended we over inflate the tyres, so far no issue since then.

I really really recommend anyone getting the car to please take Mercedes’ tyre and rim insurance, it’s almost impossible to add on after the tyres have been damaged. I didn’t know you need to buy the tyre from cnc or hap Seng if want to be eligible, even if it exact same tyre.

Black gloss rims are a demon to keep clean though, even with my ceramic coating the rims are full of brake dust after even one drive


Other than that, there is a bit of turbo lag when driving on 95 and 97, Ron 100 Petron fixes the issue but I’ve only filled up 100 when the petrol prices crashed during the pandemic last year. I have an S60 too and it’s much more responsive as it’s battery assisted.

Overall I love the car, seats are wonderful, driving is comfortable and effortless with the self drive modes, you just feel so safe. Screens are so big and clear, sound system is awesome and bassy and interior lights are very beautiful at night.

You won’t regret, enjoy !
