Not only the wheels turn slowly, but final date for AEM is in fall of 2022, when it will become clear what payments amounts will become due.
Last confirmation says that the owner doing AEM, in lack of PO claims can get full $3500 check.
I performed 3 AEMs already and have 1 more coming.....
But I don't spend the money yet.

I’m glad I don’t need that money to buy food.

If you needed the money to buy food, then maybe it wasn't a wise purchase in the first place...

gkgeiger

It sounds like some do.

I have received my first check today. I still have a second claim on another vehicle.

ccww

When did you do your modification and submit your claim?

hutch300

I summited a claim for a 2013 and 2015 in early April. I do not currently own either. My payment is for the full amount. What is weird is the claim ID on the check (address and all info matches the website) does not match either of my Claim Numbers. I'll call first thing in the AM to check. For what its worth the address on it is in Seattle and I live in Bellevue so I am likely one of the first to receive a check? Was a fun surprise in the main.

ccww

Thank you very much for the detailed information! I wonder if they are processing in the chronological order the claims were received.

Was the envelope clearly labeled? I get way too much mail and could easily miss it amongst all the junk.

hutch300

Its a thin normal envelope. Looked pretty plain but it looks like every other check you get in the mail. We all need to be on the lookout now!

That reminds me, when this all first started, they sent me mail about cars I never owned. Seems like they had a bit of a paperwork problem internally.

hutch300

I had to call this AM. They paid me on my 2015 and no update on the 2013. So it seems like it might be paid at random.

Got my check today for an R350 that I once owned. I'm in the Boston, MA area, FYI.

When did you notice EMC5 go to this new date?

Expected to be available on or around February 2022, after approval

It was for a long time and still is on mbusa site as q4


My 12'GL350 is a paperweight trying to come up with an exit plan as I have payments + insurance for a year that's been a total dud. ( not to mention oil cooler etc). Curious going to see If i can give it to Carvana non operational.

I think that the AEM wont stick I have talked to EPA reps before that some cars didn't take it ( she mentioned an ML350) . Assuming that they then would be offered a buy back.

Have you looked at what you get with EMC5 now? I think they added a new intake manifold? And some other items...

Wondering how you plan to get the AEM performed if the vehicle is non-operational? I believe the vehicle needs to make it to the dealership under its own power.

I appreciate this update and glad someone is getting a check. At least the process has started. Although they said they would update their website when they started sending checks, and of course they have not. Probably hoping more of us will miss the checks in the mail and forget about the whole thing.

Steven Gu

It sounds MB will spend over $15k for each of such AEM. Then lose more money for the 4 year extended warranty.
Hope they will be smart enough to offer a buyback as an option ( folks did not opted out has the buyback option if MB can not do AEM).

350gunner

WOW. Is that for real?

91stealthes

He indicated the car is "non-operational"

Etienne Lau

If it's non-operational, MB will not do anything. I know when I turned in my VW, it had to be operational as well.

listerone

I'm not that far from Boston.May I ask what you got? Was it the $800 (approx) that I've seen mentioned?

SnowCub

I got a check for $878.75 for an R class that I haven't seen in 9 years.

Kartergreg

I also got a check for $878.75 for the 2013 ML I traded in summer of 2020.
