| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a mercedes 2006 ml350. I have had my cam sensor and crank shaft sensor repaired 3 times since i have owned the vehicle. I initially had my car serviced at park place in dallas on lemmon avenue. My check engine light is on again after having this same issue repaired several times. I can no longer afford to keep repairing for a problem that is going to continue to cause problems. After having these items repaired i took my vehicle to get an inspection and i failed the inspection. So i took it to a mechanic and he told me that my balance shaft gear needs to be replaced which is the reason for my sensors to continually wear out. This repair cost $6000. 00 and i cannot afford it. My check engine light has been on for months and i have an expired inspection sticker because i cannot afford the cost of this repair. *kb |
