I bought a brand new 2005 Mercedes Benz C230".
On 03/12/2010, I was driving down highway 380 at US101 in the afternoon/. I was not speeding or driving in any way that would be considered anything but normal!. I suddenly lost control of my vehicle,. The steering wheel was no longer responsive to my input and the vehicle went into the a complete slide;. In the next 10 seconds the steering wheel jolted to the right and hit the highway retaining wall'. The car impacted the retaining wall on the side of the road with such force I thought that I was going to die.. The steering wheel suddenly and violently rotated and hit my hand and wist so bad that I received severe lacerations. I also almost broke wrist. My car front end was totally damaged beyond repair. It was such a night mare. I am scared to death to drive another C230
Something is definitely wrong with this car.
I am lucky to have survived such an ordeal.
This has happened several times on various road conditions. Many times when I drove the vehicle the transmission slipped very hard and I would loss traction. The transmission slips very hard indicating that this power train definitely has problems.
It also seems that the power steering on the vehicle does not operate correctly. My steering wheel was very very hard to turn feeling like it had no mechanical assistance at all. This made it extremely hard to maneuver the vehicle around a turn.
I almost died yesterday. I now know that I could lose my life in 10 seconds and I feel it is because of the faulty components used on the C230!!! I do not feel this car is safe.
I am seeking legal right to protect my consumer rights to a safe car and to protect my life safety.
If any body wants to help please let me know.
