Unknown or Other · reported Oct 15, 2026
I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding my 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 (W205), with approximately 65,000 miles. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership diagnosed severe corrosion and perforation of the rear subframe and declared the vehicle undrivable due to this condition. The estimated repair cost is $5,531.53. The rear subframe is a critical structural component supporting the rear suspension. Its deterioration may compromise vehicle stability and potentially result in loss of control. I am extremely concerned that such a serious structural failure has occurred at relatively low mileage.…

An inspection of my vehicle on August 6, 2026 disclosed that the rear subframe has corrosion, including perforation. It is my understanding that this problem has been identified in mine and many other Mercedes-Benz models, and that Mercedes-Benz has offered an extended warranty to replace the subframe in certain of these models, but my model for the year it was manufactured was not included. I was not made aware of this potential problem by Mercedes-Benz, and they are not offering an extended warranty to resolve this serious safety issue.
Suspension · reported Aug 4, 2026
During a mandatory Virginia State Safety Inspection, the vehicle failed due to severe structural corrosion and perforation of the rear subframe. Because these components notoriously corrode from the inside out, the fact that the rust is externally visible and structurally failing indicates an advanced, catastrophic material breakdown.The rear subframe serves as the foundational load-bearing anchor for the rear suspension and control arms. This level of structural rot poses an immediate, severe safety hazard. Had the failure occurred while driving at highway speeds rather than being caught…

Car was pulling to one side. Replaced the front routers and breaks. Problem still persisted. After more investigating the subframe was found to be rusting out, Mercedes of New London CT said it was unsafe to drive. But allowed my daughter to drive it home. This car was purchased it brand new from Mercedes=Benz of Warwick. The car was garaged all it life. This should not happen. They have had recalls and problems with this model just not this one. My concern is the safety of those driving this model clearly the problem was not solved. Please make Mercedes notify people driving this model, that…
