Consumer Description
Driving the 2015 c300 with approx. 69k in miles down the highway and heard a pop and the check engine light came on. The next day there was a rough idle and clanging at low speeds. took to dealership and they quoted me $15k in repairs for a new engine. MB tech said the cylinder #1 is out of spec., and there is scoring on cylinder wall caused by the piston being off center and riding the cylinder wall. After doing research this is a common problem with the m274 engine. How has this not been recalled and taken care of by Mercedes?? At this point i am 'forced' to either come up with $15k for the repairs, or go to MB dealership and try to get into a new car...which i am over $12k upside down on i might add
