| Description of the problem | Recently i was driving and my check engine came on. I took it to the mercedes-benz dealer to have it checked and the diagnostic reported the balance shaft and intake repair was needed. The issue is that there was a lawsuit against mbusa for faulty balance shafts. At no point in time was i informed of the claim on my vehicle. I need assistance in having my vehicle repaired before the time expires. Mb usa has defective parts and they are not acknowledging the repair. |
