Consumer Description

OUR ML 350 HAS 132213 MILES AS OF 10-2-18, AND IT'S GOT AN ENGINE FAULT OF 1208 CAMSHAFT. WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE BALANCE SHAFT IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $6446.82. WE TALKED TO MBZ CUSTOMER SERVICE, 800-367-6372, EXT 8536, AND TALKED TO JENNIFER. AND SHE ADVISED ME THAT BECAUSE OF A LAW SUIT, THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO? WE'VE CHECKED ON-LINE, AND OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A BAD PART, AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THANKS,
