Description of the problem	Engine light came on , the car hesitated to turn on at times, sometimes had to press the gas pedal to have vehicle turn on. Took it to local benz shops that claimed to work on benz, they said their computer could not determine the code. So took it to the dealer in fort myers, fl. Was told it was the timing chain and the 2 cam shafts. Was quoted $5032. So had to other choice than to have them repaired. Only received the managers discount of $150 (wow). I read that many other owners have the same problem and they will not recall . They have recalled older models like 2006 for this same type of issue. But of course seems that mercedes benz has no prestige. Also note this car only has 41,000 miles in mint shape take good care of it. Very , very disappointed with mercedes benz, don't get stuck buying a vehicle that is not dependable. This model has too many issues.
