This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
