Advice needed
Hi,
I bought a Mercedes c 200 Kompressor 2008 model 3 weeks back after checking in two German Computer center and the car was working properly till last week. Last week, while going for work smoke started coming from inside bonnet. I stopped the car and came out by the time it was full of flames. Luckily police and fire force were near. But the car got burnt inside the bonnet and till dash board. The car was having only third party insurance. Mercedes being a premium car, I never thought this kind of issue can happen. I lost money and the car. What can be done in this case? Any suggestion? Is there any benefit in approaching Mercedes as they value their customers?
regards,
:(
So do Kias
german cars do go well with the heat here
An average car is made of 30,000 parts. The laws of physics say that parts that can fail will fail. You are a poor victim of quantum physics. Be glad that you are still alive.
There's not much you can do.. The only option is to request that Mercedes check your car to diagnose the fault of the fire and perhaps offer compensation .. However this is dependent on whether the car was always serviced by them
I am not anyone's foe. I just keep wondering how some people write such silly thing so often with many times the posts being a total misguide. Even now, the post makes no sense at all. What can a person do now when the car has been totally burned from the bonnet till the dashboard? What even if it was reconditioned? People write just for the sake of writing.

I guess it is sheer bad luck. I do not think either the insurance or the Mercedes people will offer you anything but consolations. However, suggest you wait patiently. There are two people Molten Metal and muad-db who put in their comments at QL on such matters. They will advise you to wait for "three days" for the matter to get solved. Frankly, I am yet to understand how problems get solved within their "Three days" they state so very often.
