| Description of the problem | I am in an mbfourm and i am starting to hear of engine failure at an early age. I have not experienced this, yet. But, from what i am reading in the forums, a lot of people with the same model engine i have in my 2017 mercedes e300 are having issues where the piston cracks and they need a new engine. Mercedes isn't paying for engine replacements and it is all out of pocket cost. I am worried that once my warranty is over and my engine blows because of mercedes designs flaw, i will end up spending 9-10k for a new engine because of a design flaw.
