You know a Mercedes-Benz when you see one. Smooth. Refined. Built to perform. But even a Mercedes has its rough days. When problems hit, Newark drivers know where to turn: Fremont Foreign Auto in Fremont. We understand your Mercedes inside and out, from misfires to complex electrical issues. So, what are the top issues plaguing these luxury machines? Let’s dig in and see how our shop has Newark drivers back on the road fast.
Engine Misfires
You’re cruising, then—stutter. That’s a misfire, and it’s a known issue for C-Class and E-Class models from 2012 to 2018. When an ignition coil fails, it’s bad news for combustion. Poor power, wasted fuel, and a dash light that won’t quit. Spark plugs can’t ignite fuel correctly, robbing your engine of the performance you paid for.
Solution: We dig in. Our Fremont team gets to the root. Faulty ignition coil? Out it goes. Worn spark plug? Swapped out fast. Every replacement is precise, so your engine runs as smoothly as a Mercedes should. Newark drivers count on our expertise—and leave with a car that’s ready to hit the road.
Transmission Trouble
Smooth shifts. That’s the standard. But, for Mercedes models like the 2015-2021 E-Class and C-Class, shifting can get rough. Blame it on the 7G-Tronic and 9G-Tronic transmissions. Whether it’s a worn control module or old fluid, the symptoms are hard to miss: delayed acceleration, jerky gear shifts, and an all-around clunky feel. Not exactly the luxury you signed up for.
Solution: We’re all about precision. First, we check your fluid—dirty or low fluid is a common culprit. Then, we zero in on the control module. Using only Mercedes-approved parts and fluids, our Fremont team restores that smooth-shifting magic. Newark drivers leave our shop with a transmission that performs like new.
Air Suspension Failures
Sagging on one side? That’s not normal. The air suspension on GL-Class (2007-2015) and ML-Class (2012-2018) models is prone to issues. The air compressor, air springs, or control module can fail, turning your ride from smooth to sloppy. And if your SUV’s sitting low on one side, it’s not just uncomfortable—it’s a safety concern.
Solution: Fremont Foreign Auto knows air suspension like nobody else. Our team pinpoints the problem fast, replacing faulty compressors or springs and restoring balance to your ride. We don’t just fix it; we make it road-ready. For Newark drivers, that means peace of mind and a luxury feel that lasts.
Rapid Brake Wear
Brakes that wear out fast? That’s an issue you’ll notice. The C-Class and E-Class, especially the 2013-2020 models, are known for high-performance brakes that can burn out quickly, especially in stop-and-go traffic. While Mercedes engineers prioritize stopping power, the soft pads used in these models often wear down fast, costing you time and money in replacements.
Solution: We get it. At Fremont Foreign Auto, we choose quality brake parts designed to last longer while maintaining Mercedes’ stopping power. Newark drivers rely on us to deliver brake replacements that last, keeping them safe on the road without constant trips back to the shop.
Electrical Glitches
Modern Mercedes vehicles are loaded with tech. But sometimes, all that tech has a mind of its own. In the 2014-2020 E-Class and S-Class models, flickering lights, failing sensors, and glitchy infotainment systems aren’t unheard of. These electrical problems can take the joy out of your drive.
Solution: Electrical issues need precision, and that’s what we bring. At Fremont Foreign Auto, we use top-tier diagnostic tools to pinpoint the source—whether it’s a faulty sensor, failing battery, or misbehaving control module. Newark drivers leave with systems that work as they should because we leave no issue unresolved.
