Last week I took it in for the annual servicing and was told by the dealer that the rear subframe had corrosion /rust and the car was not safe to drive. I asked if it was covered under a recall and they said not by Mercedes at this time.They provided a repair estimate that is quite high and close to the appraised value of the car. I asked if there were any options available  through Mercedes or the dealer and they confirmed not at this time. I have read many articles related to this problem and imagine there are many complaints on file at NHTSA. This is obviously a serious safety issue and currently Mercedes is not taking responsibility and directing the costs to their customers. In addition there is a subframe parts shortage and it could take weeks to fix. I'm requesting that this be listed as a recall item by Mercedes.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"MERCEDES BENZ","productModel":"C300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]}]}
