My C250 started making a noise when you first start the car. Choking and hesitations to start, but yet would start after a moment or 2. The noise was unfamiliar. This noise would continue through out the day, as long as the car set for more than 15-20 minutes. I would go into the store, to shop come back out to the car an the noise would still be there after 15-20 minutes. I took my car to the Mercedes Benz dealer in houston, texas north. After a $200 diagnose cost. The cam shaft adjuster is out. Costing another $4,575. 68. My car is a 2012, which I brought in 2014 with less than 7,000 miles. Now it is 2019 with only 87,885 miles on my car, I don't know what this part is for or why my car needs this. All I know it cost $4,575. 68. Way to much for something I know nothing about. Can't get in touch with manufactory to complain and mercedes headquarter hasn't return my call. Please give me advise, as to what to do with my complaint.
