Bad quality batch of w204: cam solenoid, trunk lid, taillight, EIS?
Anyone here got your car recalled for ALL of these:

Cam solenoid
Trunk lid
EIS?

I just called in dealer today and found out that my VIN isn't in recall list for EIS at the moment. However the history showed that it was recalled for cam solenoid and trunk lid. I hope it doesn't have anything to link with EIS.

I am going on a long road trip so I dont want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks.

Yes. The trunk lid might cause an issue with engine starting.

I think most of us probably wish the EIS was recalled across all 204s. Free repairs!

NJprotech: thats kinda odds. Isn't EIS part of 3 way authentication a long with ESL/ECU? Why would trunk lid issue cause engine start? I hope they dont make all my part in some weird manufacturer :|


Spyked: man for sure I love to see that day come.
