C230

  • 55,000 miles
Mercedes C230 kompressor. The bolt that holds the alternator belt has broke 3 times! when the belt slipped it affected the power steering and I was unable to steer! very scary, luckily I was driving under 25 mph at the time. There must be a default in the design for this to keep happening!
