Consumer Description

I OWN A MERCEDES BENZ 2006 E350 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT AROUND 54K MILES. HAD IT CHECK OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS A CAMSHAFT SENSOR, I HAD THEM REPLACE IT AT A COST OF $550. NOW AT 57K MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON WITH THE EXACT SAME CODE, CAMSHAFT SENSOR. UPON RESEARCH THIS IS AN ENGINE/ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE. THIS IS A BALANCE SHAFT ISSUE COMMON ON THE M272 MERCEDES BENZ E350 BUILT B/T 2005-10. COST TO FIX IS DOCUMENTED @ $5,000-$8,000. *TR
