Description of the problem	Hello, i bought my car from local dealer, used with 69k miles. Delivered it with check engine light. Dealer claimed it was low windshield washer fluid. I test drive it and took car to my house. After a month, i went to mercedes benz service station where i found out the camshaft adjuster is out. Costing another $4900. I research more on this issue; this is a flaw in the mercedes m271 engine. After a certain amount of mileage, the camshaft and timing chain have been malfunctioning in most mercedes c250 cars. Mercedes did a recall on it years ago the camshaft adjuster solenoid is very faulty as it happens to most c250 vehicle owners. The check engine stays on every day, there are 1000s of people reported this issue with mercedes.
