2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Spontaneous explosion of sunroof while car is in motion on the expressway 83 and could have caused an accident while my daughter was driving

Upon purchasing my 2016 C300, I starting experiencing a right pull whenever I press on the brakes. I was very concerned as I use this vehicle to assist with dropping and pick up of my 2 grandchildren. The more I drove the car, the more unsafe especially when I attempt to bring my car to a stop. I took the car to a local mechanic and I was advice to take it to a Mercedes dealership. The mechanic also advice that it was an issue with the REAR SUB FRAME. A week later I took the car in to Mercedes as suggested and a day later I received a call and video from Mercedes that the subframe was broken and that is why I am getting that hard pull whenever I brake. Mercedes also stated that the control arm bracket is barely on and it is causing the vehicle to flex.

My car on has 80,000 miles and the camshaft position sprockets needs to be replaced. I went to a Mercedes dealer and this was the diagnostic. This causes the engine light to come on, hesitant engine, low acceleration while driving. The dealer said it will cost $8,000 to be replaced and still can go bad. There was a recall for this issue before. RecallCampaign2015100007

Error Code: P052E Crankcase Ventilation Valve Malfunction. Part was changed before and Engine Light still comes on. Vehicle is available for inspection. Vehicle was inspected by Mercedes Dealership several times. Part is on Backorder Nationwide. Car Does not pass emissions inspection, therefore cannot renew registration either for several months.

On my way to work driving 25 miles per hour I could hear my sunroof moving without me touching the controls . I am terrified the sunroof is going to fly off . After work today my car will stayed park . Merecedes benz needs to make this right . To many complaints on this panoramic sunroof on this year of car .

Panoramic sunroof has not worked since I bought my car. Today it started making a weird sound . My sunshade started opening and closing on its own . I have had enough with this sunroof . I feel is no longer safe . There needs to be a recall on it . I have seen other complaints about the sunroofs . I don’t want my sunroof to fly off and cause and injuries to anyone !

So many Mercedes Benz owner have issues with the code p052e code postive crankcase ventilation regulator valve This should be a recall

The vehicle is not passing emission inspection because the Positive Crank Case Valve/Ventilation failed to work after 48K miles.

P052e positive crankcase ventilation valve. Check engine light triggered by this code.

I opened my panoramic sunroof it didn’t open all the way and slammed shut . It didn’t break but if it had there would have been injuries. This is a known problem with this years car . And it needs to corrected .

While driving on the highway, I tried to open my panoramic sunroof, it made a grinding sound and was stuck in the open position with one corner for the sunroof slanted higher than the other. I was afraid that the sunroof would shatter or that the wind would blow off components. Afterward, the sunroof would not close even after I took it to the dealership. They informed me that they could not close the sunroof and my only option was to repair it for $4,000 or buy another car. After looking at the costs of replacement cars, I decided to pay for the repairs out of pocket. I found on multiple reddit and mercedes forums that this is a common issue in Mercedes C class vehicles made on and around 2016. My service advisor told me that he has so many customers from these panoramic sunroofs failing due to a cost cutting measure from Mercedes who decided to use plastic tracks instead of metal. He also informed me that they went back to metal a few years after my car was manufactured. This leads me to believe that Mercedes acknowledged the issue and is trying to hide it from NHTSA. Here is a link to a forum post that has a similar picture to how mine looked, notice that one side is stuck in a higher position.

I was taking my son to work and I heard my sunroof open and close when the controls were not being touched . I’m afraid if it opens and it closes on its own that it could fly off my car and hit someone else’s car and possibly injure some one .

PCV Valve Malfunction, common in my model year.

PCV valve

Positive Crankcase ventilation regularly Valve. This issue is in so many c300s and should be recalled for that reason.

Ac/heater smells like mold/musty/mildew inside the cabin. Took for the extended warranty but will not honor unless you have proof of cabin filters purchased every year. This is their way of finding a loop of not fixing the issue.

My panoramic sunroof has an extreme amount wind coming through it while driving 40 miles per hour . I can also hear my panoramic sunroof sliding back and forth . I’m terrified that that it will fly off while driving and cause a road hazard .

Engine light with code P052E

Had to have crankcase ventilation system replacement at 74k miles. $2,032.98 to replace. Did get a check engine light.

In the past few months while driving this car in the Washington DC metro area at normal road speed, the car has suddenly and unexpectedly lost driver power. Each time, I have pushed down on the gas pedal, and after some hesitation the car has moved forward, and then continued to operate normally. This has happened three times in the past 3-4 months.

My check engine light popped on with code p052E for the Positive Crankcase Ventilation Regulator Valve Performance.

The code P052E reads at only 49.000 miles....Mercedes wants $3000.00 to repait ir (replace PCV valve ). Car runs and drives normally....its probably a faulty sensor. I have seen a lot of posts with owners havins same issue.

I was driving on the local freeway and the strip of glass between the windshield and the sunroof flew off and landed on the pavement behind me. Thankfully the car behind me was far enough away that it didn't hit it--but it could have if it had been. If that had happened I shudder to think what the result would have been. The risk is to those behind me--not to me. The only indication that there was a problem before the event was only a few seconds before the piece flew off when it started to become unattached and the noise from the wind catching it raised my concern. I took the car to Mercedes and had to pay $2300 to have the piece replaced.

I bought my 2016 merecedes Benz c 300 4 matic with an engine light on . I took it the dealership and is the positive crankshaft failed . The crankshaft could reduce power on car . At 73000 mile the crankshaft should have not failed .
