Description of the problem	Purchased my 2012 c250 with 45k miles on it at time of purchase. I put 4k miles and i started hearing a ticking noise on start ups then progressed. It has turned off on me while driving at about 35 mph and another at 25 mph kinda scared to drive it. You think when you pay for quality you should get it, not having to $5500 for a camshaft lifter replacement in under the first 50k miles that' insane! Please send feed back in going to talk to lawyers and get there view on the situation because there's more then just a couple with this problem and some with vary low miles. Thanks for your time much appreciated .
