- Mercedes C220 W204 Auto Estate
Hi this is my first forum post. Looking for some help and guidance on how to diagnose and fix a fault on my car. I own a C220 W204 automatic estatw car 2008 plate with 107701 miles on clock.
I have had a reoccurring fault with the car. As soon as i get to 65mph or 70mph a yellow triagle warning triagle illuminates and I lose power. Two messages are then display: 1 Cruise Control and Speed control inoperable. 2. Traction or stability control inoperable take to workshop.
I read many MB forums and many directed my attention to the brake light switch. I bought one and replaced accordingly. It did not fix the issue at all.
I have taken my car to 3 different garages, the last being a mercedes specialist. All have put on the computer and none have fixed the issue. I have had work done on the car and in a twelve month period i have spent over £2000 on electronuc repairs. I thought Mercedes were reliable but turns oout the worse car i have ever owned.
The car is causing me stress and anxiety as dangerous to drive when losing power on straight roads or worse on hills.
I feel let down by the 3 garages as had a belief that when connectted to a computer it told the mechanic what was causing the fault or which sensor needs replacing. This is not the case.
If anyone had a similiar issue and was able to fix then please advise. Other the car is being take to car auction.
Many thanks
