problem #2

C230 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles
The contact states the airbag system failed twice in the past ten months. The onboard computer said SRS warning did not drive at that time, . the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. There was a code reset in the computer. This happened again, and they replaced a fuse box in the dashboard. The gas gauge has also gone out twice in one month. The dealership drained the gas and reset a computer code. When it happened again they had to replace a part in the gas tank and reset the computer code again. Both items were working correctly at this time.
