2007 Mercedes Benz e 350. Consumer writes in regard to illuminated check engine light.
30 Aug. 16 took my 07 E350 with 29427 miles to the dealership because the check engine light came on and the car was hard starting. After arriving I informed the service writer the car had shut down while driving. We were proceeding through a busy major intersection when the car shut down. Luckily it started so we could safely exit the busy major intersection. After a diagnostic test was ran, I was informed the crankshaft hall sensor was defective. Additionally, the engine control unit, engine wiring harness, crank sensor and various other components are oil soaked. I notified Mercedes Benz to be told the car was out of warranty. Mercedes benz should be held accountable for the unsafe defective materials they use. The above issues are a danger to the occupants and general public as well. The defective oil soaked wiring harness is can cause a fire. The car shuts down while driving is dangerous.
Check engine light came on. Took the vehicle to the local dealer and they found codes 1200, 1208, p0016 and p0017. Worn balance shaft sprocket. Doing research online turns out there are hundreds and hundreds of affected mb customers. Mercedes knew of this problem as early as 2007 but has not publicly addressed this issue or issued a recall. The bill to fix this issue is over $4,000, some people report the dealer quoting them over $10,000. My price to fix this is $5,995. My complaint is that this is a known issue by mercedes. Knowingly they installed, and kept installing, parts that wear out prematurely leaving customers with an unfairly large bill to correct their mistake.
The contact owns a 2007 Mercedes Benz E350. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where a diagnostic was performed, which located the failure at the engine crank shaft sensor. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 81,000 and the current mileage was 82,000.
Took in vehicle for check engine light. I was told that one of the cam magnets needed to be replaced (advised to have all 4 replaced). According to service adviser this is a very common problem for 2007 and prior year e-class vehicles and that the cam magnets have been redesigned to fix this issue. The complete replacing of the 4 cam magnets was more than $600 for service (before taxes). The service adviser also stated the other problem this vehicle consecutively comes in for is a faulty gas tank that is prone to crack which required the gas tank to be replaced. Mercedes-benz should clearly address the above issues on this vehicle.
Car was acting wield while driving at 55 or 65 mph on freeway for sometimes and suddenly engine got kill off completely on freeway 57 and I was almost got kill with this benz. The car check engine light went on for a few days and then went off again and I don't know what is that means so I had the car scan check for problem but it showed nothing on computer. After the incident, I has it rescan again, and it showed a p0025 problem code pointing it to a faulty part "cam shaft retard on bank 2". On the next day I was googling to check out what is the p0025 code mean and then I had noticed that this type of faulty cam shaft part has been long awared with many of the drivers. This is a very dangerous and very unsafe issue and I am filing a complain for this to the mercedes manufacturer to have this resolve ASAP.
When I fill up my gas tank, there is a strong fuel odor. After driving about 30 miles the odor goes away. Took it to the dealer and it was a crack in the upper portion of the fuel tank. This looks to be the exact same issue as many other E350 owners. Total cost for the repair was $2,100. Additionally my check engine light comes on and off randomly. Dealership said it was the camshaft adjusters that need to be replaced. Again, seems to be issues with numerous other owners. My Jeep which was half the price has had less problems than my 2007 E350.
