What problems does the Mercedes C220 Class have?
Years 2007-2013

Answer

The problem with the Mercedes C-Class (including the C220) has always been the automatic gearbox, which has a mediocre general construction, quickly dirty oil and short-lived frictions. The Siemens management electronics are complex and fragile. They cannot withstand high temperatures and easily fail. After 100,000 km, the gearbox gears are destroyed due to dirty oil and wear of the torque converter locking system. Therefore, the only way to keep a Mercedes automatic gearbox running for a long time is to give it careful maintenance.
