Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK IN THEY SAID IT WAS THE BALANCE SHAFT GEAR $7500 IN MD. I COULDN'T AFFORD IT SO I LEFT AND DID RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO ALL MLS OR I JUST AVE BAD LUCK. I FOUND OUT THEY RECALLED THIS PART AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND APPROVED IN 2015. ITS TOO LATE TO CLAIM IT NOW, THERE WAS A TIME LIMIT WHICH I FEEL IS RIDICULOUS THAT'S LIKE PUTTING A TIME LIMIT ON SOMEONES LIFE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART MERCEDES KNEW ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED WITHOUT HAVING TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO PAY OR TO GET A LAWYER TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAIN. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN ONE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED SHOULD SPEAK VOLUME AND WE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. *TR
