 Description of the problemTransfer case reseal. I have a 2008 c300 i bought with 56k miles on it, i had to have the wheel bearings replaced immediately. When this service took place, i was informed that i need to have my transfer case resealed and the cam shaft magnets replaced. This car has such low miles on it. I do not understand how this is needed at this time. I have seen on many boards, this is a common problem. Why hasn't mb recalled this yet? It appears the 2008 model is plagued with problems as i have had to replace the steering lock as well as it failed. Again, common problem and not recall. I now have a seatbelt sensor that faulty. All of this before i have even hit 100k. My 2001 ml is well over 200k and i have never had these issues with the ml.
