Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz C300 owners report experiencing a grinding noise from the bottom of the car during tight turns at slow speeds, which may indicate underlying mechanical issues. Additionally, some drivers have noted grinding or humming noises while driving, suggesting potential problems with the vehicle's systems. Specific reports also mention a grinding or scraping noise from the front driver's side wheel during certain maneuvers.
