NHTSA Complaint #11160631 — 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C250

I BOUGHT THE CERTIFIED CAR AT 50K AND AT 70K MILES, RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDED - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WILL COST $8K DUE TO CAMSHAFTS TO REPAIR!! THEY EVEN SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER TRADING THE CAR IN! KEEP IN MIND I STILL OWE $28K SO THAT OPTION IS OUT! SINCE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON EVEN AFTER I GOT IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL/AFFORDABLE MECHANIC AND IT'S ABOUT 110K MILEAGE AND THE ENGINE IS RATTLING AS IT RUNS. THIS IS MY 3RD BENZ AND THE FIRST 2 FAILED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THESE GERMAN CARS CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS AND SO COSTLY TO REPAIR. WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET!!! TODAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR JUST SLOWLY STOP AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF! AAA CAME TO CHECK AND IT'S NOT THE BATTERY SO WILL NEED TO GET TOWED. STILL OWE $10K LEFT- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! NO OTHER CAR TO DRIVE .
