Consumer Description
AT 40,000 MILES, ONE OF THE WRIST PINS SNAPPED AND THE PISTON BROKE OFF. THIS CAUSED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE WHOLE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT CAUSED A RECALL WITH THE 2015 MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR THE LABOR, BUT MERCEDES DONATED THE ENGINE (PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S THEIR FAULT). SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL AS WELL.
