What owners report
On file for 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Recall campaigns on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If any of these describe your vehicle and the manufacturer's repair has not fixed it, Song-Beverly may apply.
- Vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal
A broken or detached accelerator pedal can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
NHTSA campaign 24V117000 · reported 16 February 2024 · owner letters mailed 5 April 2024 - Fuel system, gasoline: delivery: fuel pump
An inadequate seal can allow fuel and oil to leak onto the road, creating a hazard for other road users and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a fuel and oil leak in the presence of hot engine components can increase the risk of a fire.

The statute
When a warranty problem becomes a lemon
These are the presumptions in the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and the Tanner Consumer Protection Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.22). Each applies when the defect is first reported, and the vehicle is still under the manufacturer's warranty, within 18 months of delivery or 18,000 miles — whichever comes first.
- Two or more repair attempts for a defect likely to cause death or serious bodily injury
- Four or more repair attempts for the same non-safety defect
- The vehicle out of service for 30 or more cumulative days for repair
