    When driving I accelerated and then the engine light turned on. after that the car was jolty and turned off completely when stopped. had to force a restart at the light. code that came back was p052E. This is a major and common issue with these cars. part is 400+ dollars. labor is much more since this is a 6 hour job. the work to replace this part is incredibly intensive that makes it impossible for regular car owners to change. Mercedes refuses to recognizes this as a common issue. but the truth is they designed a faulty system that they claim to have updated a handful of times now.

    P052e71 positive crankcase ventilation regularly valve issue. This is a common issue Mercedes is aware of with their vehicles. I was quoted 1600+ for a repair for something has been known about for over 7 years to be an issue with the car class. I was also told by the shop that this a very common issue and odds are I would need the same service within a year or two.

    My check engine light was on when I was driving on the highway. I was terrified that something was very wrong. Right after, I took the car to the dealer and was told that the valve for the crankcase ventilation. The actuator was blocked. I was also told that this is not caused by something I did. It's the design of the car that caused the problem.

    Oil separator failure. This a common design fault as documented by multiple complaints on the internet. This is another Mercedes Benz emission design flaw causing emission failures. This is very cheap part but extremely expensive to replace. Mercedes collects over $1200 per labor repair for each. THIS IS AN EMISSIONS POLLUTION AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN BE SOLVED. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL. Engine severely smokes/stalls leaving people stranded on highways. When stuck, coolant is sucked into the engine mixing with the oil. No warning. The car

    I have 2015 C300 Model, total milage on the car is 30K. Dashboard is showing the check engine light and when I take to Dealership for diagnostic, the code is P052E which is a problem with Crankcase vent. Dealership tech had mentioned that this seems to be known issue effecting years 2015-2018. When I did search, he is right; many MB owners are facing same issue which is a malfunction during assembly/manufacturing. MB should be responsible for part replacement and labor. Please investigate and ask MB to run recall campaign. Thank You.
