Description of the problem	2006 mercedes ml350. Upon turning 78k miles a check engine indicator appeared. Upon examination a sprocket in the timing chain assembly was worn and in danger of failure. Within one day - and with very little effort - i found two others with the same motor having the same problem. Mercedes prides itself on excellent engineering and manufacturing and charged me $50k for such excellence. With this kind of mileage there should be no problem with this type of machinery. Apparently mb agreed. Upon working with a local dealership mb paid 50% of the bill which totaled $4200 with discounts. This item should truly be a recall and should not have cost me a penny. Mb is trying to keep this situation quiet as not to incur extensive damages. I would like to see a recall take place for others who will inevitably have this same experience at some point.
