Contacted MBUSA again and got the issue resolved. Unf^&*ing real.
Do you have the contact info at MBUSA? Anyone in particular that you talked to?

What was burning? ABC fluid?

Your SA sucks. I would let him know the next time he makes a dumb ruling that you have to escalate, you plan to take it up with his GM and expect compensation for your time.

Which dealership did you go to? I have a ABC issue now on my 2002 cl55 and I want to take it to someone like the shop foreman you referred to that knows his stuff. My only thing is I KNOW the dealer will try to rape me with the price to fix
