| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on then went off. Took to the dealer told code was for gear in the balance shaft and that the job would be $6000. Told me it was normal wear and tear but they were willing to pay 50%. If normal wear why would they even pay. Car had 93k miles. See that this is a 2006 mercedes e350 issue and not just wear. Need to have a recall. See there is a class action lawsuit in progress against this faulty part. |
