Description of the problem	My check engine light came on about 24 june 2013 or so. I contacted atlanta classic cars, my local mb dealership to address the issue. My vehicle was inspected on 2 july, and the report indicated my balance shaft needed to be replaced ($5,100), my power steering components needed to be replaced ($3,067. 50), and my transmission valve body needed to be replaced ($1,812. 95). I have been the sole owner of this vehicle, and have had it serviced regularly at mb dealerships (critz - savannah, ga and atlanta classic cars - duluth, ga). Previously, this vehicle had transmission problems, which occurred just after the warranty expired. At first, atlanta classic cars did not want to take responsibility for the issue, since the vehicle's warranty had expired. After my husband got involved, they agreed to fix the problem for no charge. Another minor problem involved the locking mechanism on the vehicle's hatch -- it had to be replaced three times before it finally worked properly. I am very dismayed that after seven years and 109k miles, my vehicle is experiencing such expensive problems as this.
