Balance shaft engine issues, stretched timing chain, balance shaft sprockets. There was a class action lawsuit about this that no one made us aware of and the repairs had to be completed by may 13, 2015 to be part of the class action. Now, because we drove it so few miles in the past, the issues have just appeared. We have just 76,000 miles on it and were told that they would have to take the engine apart to replace the camshaft bearings because they have worn due to the other issues. Along with that we needed a new head and gasket and camshaft solenoids. This is estimated to cost us $10,000. 00. We of course aren't going to do the repairs now. There should have been a recall on this so people like us that don't drive a lot of miles don't get ripped off. This is a mercedes that should have easily run for over 200,000 miles. Now it's junk.

While driving, the car loses throttle and the engine does not function at all. The following error shows on the dash: "inoperative see operator's manual". When this happens, your only choice is to coast to a safe place. After restarting the car, it will function for a short time, only to reoccur. This obviously can be deadly if you cannot get off the highway before the car comes to a stop. This has happened at various speeds.

Stationary vehicle no start, no crank without warning while parked on a city street. Failure within the electronic steering lock. Vehicle will not recognize the drivers key. Driver and passengers left dangerously stranded where ever the vehicle is parked when the failure occurs. This failure makes it unable to shift the vehicle into neutral position for towing.

Car was parked in a parking lot. I was 120 miles from home when the engine would not start -- even though the battery, lights, stereo, gauges, etc. All worked fine. Still, the engine wouldn't even crank, had car towed to an independent mercedes repair facility (it was a Sunday and the local mercedes service department was not open). The electronic ignition switch (eis) and other parts needed to be replaced at a cost of $1526. 94. Months later I visited the NHTSA website and learned that this is a common problem with this model of mercedes and that the manufacturer is refusing to pay for the repair. With a problem this widespread -- which can occur multiple times during the life of the car -- mercedes should foot the bill. I would have complained earlier but only now learned that many other owners are experiencing the same defect. My car had only 37,110 miles at the time. I should be reimbursed my mercedes.
