If it's not one thing it's another!

Have a 2010 350gl deisal. First it started lagging...lagging became more and more frequent now...now the anti-theft message on console and tried all the tricks I could find to reset it! Yes I know there is an underlying reason this is happening that reseting will not fix...so going to dealer is only option...found out although the lagging would be thought to be a TRANSMISSION issue...luckily very rarely that but more of a sensor or computer glitch that can be easily and affordably fixed...I have spent over 8 K in the last 2 months on our end repair after another... granted it has 100,000. but I think the things failing is good indication that the manufacturer has been using less quality material! AND THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS BASED ON THE BLOGS I READ! Very frustrating and pocket draining...OR...who's to say the repair shop isn't purposely perpetuating these issues particularly if a computer/programming glitch...think we can band together and form a class action case against MB for not calling for recall or at what length must one take to get a recall ordered...???? Probably a Lawyer???more money...wth? Please any words of advice or wisdom appreciated!
