Description of the problem	After only 75k miles my mb has a failing part that is well known amongst all mb dealerships. The cam shaft adjustment units both intake and exhaust have failed, causing me to undertake repairs in excess of $3k. For such a newer vehicle this is unconscionable and many dealerships around the phoenix area have known about this issue for awhile and have expressed shock that this hasn't been a recall issue yet. I knew there was an issue with my mb when i started it up and there was a rattling noise coming from the engine portion of the vehicle. Each shop and dealership i've taken it to have noted it and have stated that repairs range from $3k to $4. 8k. Simply unacceptable. I am hoping the nhtsa will investigate and recall this car for this issue as it is a well-known issue and needs to be addressed.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
