Is this typical?!?
Typical? -- NOT! I think you should be referring to them as your EX dealer!

I can't believe how costly it is to even extend the MB standard warranty. When we first bought the car they quoted us about 3k at time of purchase - should have purchased it then. It is a shame that we even have to think of such an expensive for warranty just for peace of mind for an already expensive, high-end SUV.

From the MB "Owner's Online" website FAQ:

Will I be asked to pay a deductible or file claim forms?
Absolutely not. Unlike many other extended warranty programs, the Mercedes-Benz Extended Limited Warranty will never ask you to file claim forms or pay ANY additional fees for warranty-covered service, repairs, or parts. It's effortless.

I think you should file a complaint. If you've paid a diagnosis fee, you should demand your money back.
