1 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2006

I own a 2005 e320 cdi mercedes diesel. The car gives off black smoke (intermittently) and a black tar like substance (black soot) pours out of my exhaust system. I have complained to mercedes and they state, "the car is operating within factory specifications. " the dealership (skyland automotive, asheville, nc) states that it is due to poor quality diesel fuel. I have considered legal action under the nc lemon law, but would rather have the problem solved.
