2 Differential Unit problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2018

Over a year I am complaining that I am getting unusual noise from my car. Mercedes benz silver spring told me that because it has low profile tire and rims get bend from inside causing the noise. I took their word but issue remain there. I just took the car for other issue and told the service manager look into the issue and they came back with issue 'split differential issue' in the car which will cost around $4100. 00. I did internet search and find out that there are other people who cla 250 in 2014 got the exact issue. I own cars for so many years but never heard anybody have similar issue. Mercedes is not doing anything about it. Please help. Thank you.
