Thanks for the detailed thread everyone. My understanding is that this applies to the U.S. Anyone know if us folks in Canada will receive anything?

In Process of Buying 2015 GL 350
Happy February to All -
I’m new here and in the process of purchasing the GL 350. Buying a 5/100K extended warranty with it. Current mileage in the low 40K’s. 1 previous owner.
Can anybody shine any light as to how this settlement will affect me. Do I qualify to get the settlement? Is the extended warranty a waste considering the settlement warranty I’m hearing about MB is attaching to this model post the settlement? Any insights would be much appreciated for sure.
thank you in advance!

@gkgeiger and @primbesy , I bought my vehicle from a used car dealer and I bought the after market plan. Got no complaints at all with the plan. I have used the extended warranty twice at the dealer (NOX and Oil cooler), once at a European Car specialist (Engine and transmission Mount). Only paid $100 deductible each time.

Anyone have luck bugging MBNA?

If you ever encounter any resistance from the dealer for emission fixes, just speed dial the law firm..

There is very small chance Biden Administration could influence the final result. Because they hate pollution company's with the passion .The Judge still did not confirm the final approval on the whole settlement from what I hear. I would not hurt for everyone to shoot an email to the senators to request Buyback option for the vehicle owners .
Nearly three years have passed since investigation of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz diesel emissions systems; consumers left without recourse on their vehicles
Media contact: National Consumers League – Carol McKay, carolm@nclnet.org, (412) 945-3242 or Taun Sterling, tauns@nclnet.org, (202) 207-2832
Washington, DC – Leading consumer and environmental groups today sent letters to U.S. House Energy & Commerce and Senate Commerce Committees’ leadership, urging them to inquire about the status of pending Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency investigations into the diesel emissions systems of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz marketed its BlueTEC diesel vehicles as “the world’s cleanest and most advanced diesel,” but has been accused of equipping them with cheat devices that result in dangerously high levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, far exceeding what is legal under U.S. federal and state regulations. The DOJ and EPA have held Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler accountable for similar allegations, but there has been no update on their investigation into Mercedes since it reportedly began in 2016.
VW and Fiat have instituted buybacks and repairs to address the pollution, while compensating owners and lessees. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Daimler vehicles are potentially polluting the environment while their owners await the outcome of the DOJ and EPA investigation.
The letter was signed by Center for Auto Safety, Consumer Action, Consumer Federation of America, National Consumers League, Safe Climate Campaign and Sierra Club.
“Compared to the repercussions Volkswagen faced after admitting to strikingly similar allegations, which included severe fines and mandatory buybacks or repairs to tainted diesel vehicles, nothing has been done to hold Mercedes-Benz accountable in the U.S.,” wrote the groups. “Just as Congress played an important oversight role in Volkswagen’s dieselgate, it can do the same in bringing Mercedes-Benz to justice. We urge you to aid U.S. consumers by compelling the DOJ and EPA to provide an update into their nearly three-year-old investigation and, if appropriate, take action against Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz for violating U.S. law.”
The groups also referred to a letter Senators Ed Markey (D-MA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) sent to the DOJ in February last year; the groups’ letter noted that no update has been provided and no action has been taken.
A full copy of the letter can be found here.

Spoke to Shelby again the judge who is waiting for this consent decree is retiring and taking his time filling out the final paperwork recommended that we all reach out to our state senators and Congress people to put pressure on the New Jersey federal judge Sullivan.

Delaying not bad?
Which means MB has to provide extended emission warranty on cars 1 year older. Which is more costly for them of course!
If the judge add something like all emmision related issues before modification will be under warranty as well, then the deal become even better!
