Description of the problem	My check engine light came on and i took the vehicle to a local mercedes dealer, and the tech told me that the balance shaft was the problem and that it will cost me about $8000. 00 to fix it. He also said that there was no manufacturer warranty to fix it. It took the vehicle to independent mechanic who fixed the problem with about $7200. 00. I researched the problem and found out that is common problem with the make and model, and there is a pending class action suit in nj against mercedes usa.
