Description of the problem	Balance shaft gear defective apparently mercedes has been aware of this problem, class action suits have been filed- no recall yet. I plan to call mercedes dealer tomorrow- do not anticipate any help on their part - if that's the case will try to join class action suit as this is a known and very costly -(thousands of dollars) problem for numerous mb vehicles- many classes from 2007 -2011. Mercedes benz was apparently aware of this defect when i purchased my vehicle (used) from local mb dealer here in ny 2009 as a pre owned certified vehicle, why was i not made aware of this issue that mercedes knowingly knew and come to find out a class action lawsuit was filed. The nhtsa need s to look into this many complaints have been filed, mercedes service techs were made aware of this issue but they were not instructed to let customers be known of this when cars were brought in for service. Please look into this and recalls must be preformed
