Intermittently the left headlight failed to function. When this occurred the lights illumination was reduced. Sometimes there was a warning on the dashboard that indicated the light was out, even if the light was on. Vehicle was serviced by the dealership 5 times hey reprogrammed the computer, changed the headlight connection, and altered the light bulb. Tbut failure recurred.

C320 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,700 miles
3/03 within 3 months of purchasing my 2002 C-240, the air conditioning stopped working, fuel gauge failed, headlight washer broke, and one of the vents on the dash fell apart. Took in for service and was given another 2002 C-240, and while driving the loaner car in the mountains, it began down shifting itself and there was no power. Car would come to complete stop and then would start moving again. Happened 6 times. Mercedes dealer thought was isolated incident. I felt it was very serious as I was on interstate when it would suddenly stop in traffic. Could have caused a very serious accident. 4/03 air conditioning not working again.
