Consumer Description

MY CAR STARTED TO GIVE LESS POWER WHILE DRIVING INITIALLY AND THEN COUPLE OF DAYS THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BALANCE SHAFT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THERE WAS A LAW SUIT AGAINST MB. THE SETTLEMENT IDENTIFIED MY CAR AS A CANDIDATE FOR A FUTURE REPAIR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING LIKE THIS WAS MENTIONED. I WAS TOLD TO PAY FULL PRICE.
