Consumer Description

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE MB DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A BALANCE SENSOR LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE AND IT COST $7000.00 TO FIX CAUSE THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS TO BE TAKEN OUT, MY CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR MB CARS AS WELL. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR BENZ AND THERFORE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME RECALL ON IT BY NOW. *TR
