Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF. TOOK TO THE DEALER TOLD CODE WAS FOR GEAR IN THE BALANCE SHAFT AND THAT THE JOB WOULD BE $6000. TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY 50%. IF NORMAL WEAR WHY WOULD THEY EVEN PAY. CAR HAD 93K MILES. SEE THAT THIS IS A 2006 MERCEDES E350 ISSUE AND NOT JUST WEAR. NEED TO HAVE A RECALL. SEE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN PROGRESS AGAINST THIS FAULTY PART. *TR
