2006 Mercedes Benz CLK350

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MERCEDES DEALER REPLACED CAMSHAFT SENSOR THE VEHICLE HAD 52500 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR. THEY STATED IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE CAMSHAFT PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAS 68000 MILES NOW AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO THIS VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND I HAVE CONTACTED MERCEDES AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE PREMATURE ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE THE GOVERNMENT TO PUT IN A LAWSUIT FOR ME AND MAKE IT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST MERCEDES BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL CONSUMERS WITH THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM AND MERCEDES ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

THE '06 CLK 350 I AM ABOUT TO PURCHASE WAS TAKEN IN FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE CEL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BALANCE SHAFT, WHICH WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MISFIRING AND OTHER ENGINE PROBLEMS. I DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS, OR EVEN WHEN THE CEL FIRST CAME ON. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE ENGINE MUST BE REMOVED AND TORN DOWN TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, AND THE COST WILL BE UPWARDS OF $4000. IT HAS LESS THAN 54000 MILES ON IT. *TR

2006 CLK 350 COUPE / CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVELS (MESSAGE). I'VE OWNED MY CAR SINCE MARCH 18, 2007. I'M WRITING TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE RECEIVED A MESSAGE THREE TIMES STATING "CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVELS" THE MESSAGE CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JULY 2007. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND I ARRIVED AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THEY CLOSED AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE, SO THEY PLACED OIL IN MY CAR AND TURNED ME AWAY. THANKFULLY A VERY PROFESSIONAL YOUNG MAN FROM THAT SAME DEALERSHIP RECTIFIED THIS EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND HAD A TALKING TO THE MAN THAT TURNED ME AWAY. MY CAR WAS MISDIAGNOSED. A WEEK LATER THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL. AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, I CALL MERCEDES BENZ ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEY ASKED ME NOT TO ADD ANY OIL AND TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT TO MD SAN DIEGO. THEY CONDUCTED AND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO FIND WHAT WAS WRONG AND THEY ASKED ME TO COME BACK IN 1,000 TO 1,200 MILES OR IF THE LIGHT CAME ON. AUGUST 7, 2007 - I WAS NEAR NEWPORT BEACH, AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY HAD TO RE-DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE THE TEST NEEDS TO BE CONDUCTED AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP EACH TIME. (I QUESTIONED THE VALIDITY OF THIS STATEMENT). THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO COME BACK IN 1,000 - 1,200 MILES OR WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN 1,000 MILES (AUGUST 2007) TO THE NEWPORT BEACH DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND MERCEDES BENZ WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE THE (WARRANTY) WORK FOR THE ENGINE TO BE TAKEN APART TO FIND OUT WHERE THE OIL IS GOING TO. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 19, 2007 AND THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY CAR BACK IN. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM THIS TIME, OR IT MIGHT BE THAT I HAVE BEEN SOLD A LEMON. *TR
