This cam shaft issue is obviously a pandemic one for the C250. see communication below to MB Customer service. Bottom line, the don't give a damn about it.
UNBELIEVABLE MB NIGHTMARE!!
I am writing again regarding our 2013 C250 that has been at Mercedes South in Charlotte NC since before Jan. 1, 2024 and the NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE we are now dealing with on a car with less than 88k miles on it.
We did not invest in a Mercedes Benz to buy the car twice with all the ridiculous repairs now needed to get it back on the road.
At this time we have incurred over $500 in tow fees, plus repair bills for $1844.74 for a bad SAM unit, plus $1236.17 for the cam inspection and now a WHOPPING $13,316.18 for a new engine, all resulting from bad engineering, poor quality parts, uncommunicated recalls and extended warranty issues for which we never received. So, at this point we are looking at $16,897.09 in expenses for what Aileen "the owner) is now calling the "BIGGEST PIECE OF CRAP CAR" ever built and a sad reputation for Mercedes Benz.
Please consider: With all of the recalls and extended warranty issues for cam shaft issues, fuel pump issues and more that were never sent to us, we find this totally unacceptable from Mercedes Benz. People don't buy a MB to only get 88k miles out of it before it blows up. Please review the attached quotes and information and let me know what MB can do to cover the costs we are now facing.
