| Description of the problem | Our ml 350 has 132213 miles as of 10-2-18, and it's got an engine fault of 1208 camshaft. We are being told that the balance shaft is bad and needs to be replaced for $6446. 82. We talked to mbz customer service, 800-367-6372, ext 8536, and talked to jennifer. And she advised me that because of a law suit, there's nothing that they can do? We've checked on-line, and other owners are having the same issue. We feel that this is a bad part, and needs to be recalled. Thanks, |
