Consumer Description

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY MY MECHANIC. HE CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE BALANCE SHAFT. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY MERCEDES 230 MODELS HAVE THIS MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PIECE WAS CHEAPLY MADE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR MERCEDES C230 2006 AND 2007 MODELS. IN 2008 C230 MODEL THIS WAS REPLACED WITH A QUALITY BALANCE SHAFT PIECE WHICH ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR MERCEDES CORPORATION TO PAY FOR THE FULL COST OF MY REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURED FAULTY PIECE USED IN THE 2006 AND 2007C230 MODELS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW DETAILS TO GET THIS PAID FOR. THANK YOU!! *TR
