2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C200 Kompressor review from Australia and New Zealand
"Mercedes don't make them like they use to in the '80's!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When pushed, the brake pedal would eventually hit the floor! At the stop light, the brake pedal would start to slowly keep pushing through until it hit the floor and the car would start to move. Took the car to the dealership 4 times before they finally realized that there was an air pocket in the brakeline as well as a small hole in the lining. Realizing the potential danger, they finally fixed it.
General comments?
Brakes work really well now and has gotten me out of trouble a few times! Good timing!
