Unhappy CAM Shift adjustor

I have a Mercedes Benz C250. After i had this car i am facing similar problems like camshiftadjustors, timing chain. I visited the dealership for a diagnostic and the car was having issues but they did not inform me from the diagnostic. I went there again but they did not address the real problem my car had. After changing the dealership i got to know about these problems. I am very disappointed by the service. Now my camshift warranty has expired on april 14th, but as these are common problems will i be able to claim this?

The second dealer should have access to the diagnostics run by the first dealer on the 2 visits. if those show the adjusters to have failed, you may have a valid claim.

But realize that only very specific conditions are covered by the extended warranty. On my first visit to the dealer, all the conditions had not been met to even verify adjusters as the problem. You could reach out to Mercedes Benz Customer Satisfaction, but many people have had no relief there after being turned down by the dealer.
