WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND THE 2 CAM SHAFTS. WAS QUOTED $5032. SO HAD TO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO HAVE THEM REPAIRED. ONLY RECEIVED THE MANAGERS DISCOUNT OF $150 (WOW). I READ THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT RECALL . THEY HAVE RECALLED OLDER MODELS LIKE 2006 FOR THIS SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. BUT OF COURSE SEEMS THAT MERCEDES BENZ HAS NO PRESTIGE. ALSO NOTE THIS CAR ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES IN MINT SHAPE TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT.
