On October 9, 2025, with 26,589 miles, the vehicle suffered a Cylinder 2 failure (exhaust valves), causing a dangerous loss of power in traffic. I paid $4,100.43 for a $10,000 plus cylinder head replacement at an authorized dealer (Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta South) on November 13, 2025. Following the repair, the vehicle continued to exhibit multiple 'Check Engine Oil Level' warnings. On February 4, 2026\u2014less than 90 days after the major repair\u2014the engine suffered a total catastrophic failure. The dealer now states the entire engine requires replacement.  This repeat failure of a critical engine component at low mileage poses an unreasonable risk of stalling or sudden loss of propulsion on high-speed roads. I am aware of the January 2026 Mercedes-Benz warranty extension (NCU 30-P-072328) for this specific M264 engine defect, which confirms a known manufacturing flaw that the current dealership repair process failed to remediate, leaving me in an unsafe vehicle.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"C 300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]}]}
