Description of the problem	Takata recall. I purchased my 2006 mercedes r350 in 2016 with over 100k miles on it. With the engine light already on. I used a scanner tool for an accurate diagnosis. As it stated two issues. A crank shaft sensor/ cam shaft sensor was needed. So i decided against my better judgement to finalize the purchase anyway. Needless to say, after i changed the sensors the problem still remains. After doing a lot of research and spent unnecessary money, it was brought to my attention that the problem is in fact a faulty balance shaft inside of the engine. Due to a manufacturing default. That was covered my mercedes in a recall at one point before i had purchased the vehicle. For something as serious as a defected part in a motor should not be limited to when you purchase the vehicle, but whenever it is brought to their attention it should be repaired without hesitation since this is a manufacturing default and not something that was done by any previous owners. I would like to know what if anything can be done to help me resolve this issue at hand. Thanks in advance.
