| Description of the problem | I was notified last fall that my vehicle was under recall. The recall has to do with the oil cooler tube coming in contact with the power steering return tube which may cause a fire. I have made several calls to two different dealerships and the best they can do is put me on a "wait list" because daimler is only releasing one repair kit per dealership every 10 days and i have many people ahead of me. It is now may and still no call, however, i keep getting notices to get it done. I don't understand how a recall can be performed in this manner. They tell you your vehicle might catch on fire, but you have to wait months to get it fixed? It doesn't seem right to me, so i called daimler to complain. They confirmed that the one kit per dealer every 10 days is correct and i have to wait. Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me... |
