My 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 does not have the AUXILIARY battery. Maybe your 2015 ML350 does not have also.

New member in Stuttgart

Hey, everyone. My name is Marcus and I currently am living in Schonaich, Germany. I work as a GS employee for the DoD. I am a retired US Army 1SG with 21 years of service with plenty of time abroad and deployed. We still have a house back in Madison, AL and should hopefully be back there in about 5 years. I should be receiving my 2019 Selenite Grey C43 AMG Coupe in early January. I am super excited about being a member of the MB community. My family and I visited the MB museum last Sunday in Stuttgart and was extremely impressed. I am an avid car enthusiast an have owned a multitude of cars from a Plymouth Neon (1st car) to my current car 05 Honda S2000 AP2 with ITBs. My European cars have included an 04 E46 M3 (Dinan supercharged), 07 B7 RS4 (JHM supercharged), 11 Fiat 500 Abarth, 13 VW Touareg TDI, and my current 08 Peugot 307 beater. My wife is expecting her 19 Volvo XC60 Inscription in the next month. Thank you, and cannot wait to hopefully be able to contribute to the community.

Welcome Marcus! The list of cars you had is quite interesting, especially the supercharged models. Are you expecting to take one car from Europe to US? Just for curiosity. In 2013 I stayed in Madison for a month, just working as a researcher at Wisconsin University. It is really a very good place to live, I hope someday I can move definitively to there.

We plan on taking all 3 back. 1 through the government, 1 with Volvo, and one on my own dime.

That's great because, at least for me, they are my dream car for use everyday. I wish I could do this when I stayed at US and bring a Suburban 2500 to Brazil, unfortunately the bureaucracy plus the expensive import taxes make this process harder.

Yeah. I cant wait for the bureaucracy that I will have to deal with the one I am paying for. I can imagine that it will not be fun. BTW, my house is in Madison, Alabama. I can imagine a much different monster than WI.

My name is Tuck and I live in Seminole Fl. I'm retired and recently purchased a CLK 350 Cabrio with 72K miles. I came to this forum to research a problem with my convertable top. Almost immediately I found the answer to my problem and the hard to find part number. This will be my go to forum for any further issues. Thanks for all the help.

W212 Mercedes Benz E250 Defects "Timing Chain, Sprocket, Camshaft - Malaysia"


I've been noticing this problem globally. My E250 (Year 2013) had major problems in 2017 in Malaysia . When I lodged complaints about the engine rattling / Thumping Sound / noise at the engine / Mercedes Benz Malaysia would chase me away saying there is nothing wrong. I was told there is no warranty over the engines "timing chain, sprocket, camshafts". After my warranty expired , they wanted to charge me US$3500 for the same defective parts mentioned a few months earlier "timing chain, sprocket, camshafts". Attached are relevant police report which I had lodged together pictures of the incident , Image 1, Video 1 , Police report 1, Police report Page 2 ,CONCERNING MY DEFECTIVE E250 MERCEDES BENZ engine parts "timing chain, camshaft, sprocket , tensioner, adjuster, shut off devices, and connecting parts" that have been hidden worldwide and Mercedes Benz refuses to recall them, it causes accidents , sudden swerves, sudden crashes., sudden shut offs, sudden sleep mode, engine explodes and jams and much more , silently people are suffering Globally (just like my case) . My vehicle shut off and engine jammed and exploded with smoke appearing while driving on the highway at 105km per hour and almost collided with 3 other vehicles. Luckily I survived. As soon as I lodged complaints everywhere , I was served with defamation suits injunctions and contempt of court proceedings in Malaysia - while all the government departments kept silent (Ministry Malaysian International Trade, Domestic Trade and Consumer Department, Road Transport Department, Police and many others simply kept silent) Many of the departments frequently told me it was out of their jurisdiction , while Daimler and Mercedes Benz Malaysia took the approach the blame me for not servicing at their place regularly . I've initiated counter claim on them to change my vehicle to a brand new one.

XIV.https://www.shine.com.au/blog/class-...-class-action/ ., ………….. "Shine Lawyers is examining claims against Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen following US class actions, alleging that several vehicles have a defective timing chain, which can cause catastrophic engine failure. Volkswagen, Skoda and Audi vehicles that contain 1.8L and 2.0L TSI and TFSI EA888 engines manufactured between 2008 and 2012 are the vehicles that have been identified as affected. “We believe the timing chain defect is a major safety issue for drivers. The defect can potentially cause the vehicles to stop mid-journey placing the occupants of the affected vehicles in imminent risk of danger,” said Shine’s Class Actions Expert, Vicky Antzoulatos. Similar actions have arisen in the US District Court in New Jersey and Florida” , m.s. 77

XV.https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-...on-settlement/ ……………….”16 May 2018 - Volkswagen has agreed to a settlement that would end a multidistrict litigation claiming that many vehicles’ engines have a timing chain tensioner that’s defective. If approved, the potential VW settlement deal will resolve a two-year long multidistrict litigation. Multiple class action lawsuits that were filed as early as May 2016 claim that a defect in Volkswagen vehicles engines, and engines in the company’s Audi brand, possess a defect that cause the engines to randomly fail, putting drivers and others at risk for injury or death. This settlement, if approved by the court, would cover the cost for many Volkswagen and Audi drivers to have their vehicles repaired. The proposed Class of drivers include anyone in the United States and Puerto Rico who purchased or leased one of a number of Volkswagen and Audi vehicles made between 2008 and 2014. Volkswagen has agreed to extend warranties on the timing chains and timing chain tensioners in affected vehicles to cover the parts for 100,000 miles or for 10 years. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, if the timing chain tensioner fails within 10 years or 100,000 miles, Volkswagen will reimburse drivers for the 100% of the cost of a new part if the driver has the repairs done at an authorized VW or Audi dealer. However, if the vehicle owner has the timing chain tensioner fixed at an independent vehicle repair service center within the 10 years or 100,000 miles, VW will cover the cost of parts and labor up to $1,100. Likewise, if a Class vehicle’s timing chain needs to be replaced or repaired within 10 years or 100,000 miles, Class Members will receive a refund of the entire cost of labor and parts if the car is taken to an authorized Audi or VW dealership. Timing chain repairs or replacements that are performed on Class vehicles at an independent dealer will be covered up to $1,500. If drivers need both the timing chain and timing chain tensioner fixed or replaced, Volkswagen has agreed to cover 100% of the total cost if the car is taken to an Audi or VW dealer. Class vehicles that require both the timing chain and timing chain tensioner to be repaired or replaced will receive a refund of no more than $2,000. According to the VW class action settlement terms, Class Members who need to replace or repair their engine because of the damage caused by the timing chain or timing chain tensioner will receive the following benefits…..”m.s.78 - 92

XVIII.http://www.classactionsreporter.com/consumer/german-luxury-automaker-collusion-and-antitrust-class-action …………….“The pride of German industry are its automakers, which employ over 800,000 people and bring in roughly a fifth of its industrial revenue, with a worldwide reputation for precision and quality. But new class actions claim that the Volkswagen/Audi emissions scandal was just the tip of an iceberg that could rip away that fine reputation. This complaint alleges that for the past two decades, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, BMW, and Daimler (Mercedes), along with Robert Bosch, a supplier, participated in a cartel which suppressed innovation and undercut engineering in favor of cost savings, while keeping prices high and pretending to be competitive, cutting-edge companies”.“………….Mercedes, reportedly are cooperating with the EC investigation and have admitted their role(s) in the collusion in exchange for leniency. In a July 4, 2016 submission to European authorities, Volkswagen admitted Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche coordinated on the development of their vehicles, costs, suppliers and markets “for many years –at least since the 1990s and to this day.”

5. Since at least the 1990s, Defendants have colluded and shared competitive information through dozens of “working groups” comprising hundreds of employees. The working groups collectively held hundreds, if not thousands, of meetings throughout the course of Defendants’ conspiracy. The working groups were referred to as the “groups of five” and met “regularly several times a year” throughout Germany, as well as at major auto shows. In its filings with European authorities, Volkswagen indicated that “more than 1,000 relevant meetings took place in the last five years.” The meetings were, however, non-public and referred to as “secret” meetings.

6. One subject of Defendants’ collusion was the “AdBlue” tank Defendants used in their diesel vehicles. Specifically, Defendants agreed on the size of the AdBlue tanks, fixing their .respective costs and otherwise eliminating and restraining competition and innovation on at least that aspect of their vehicles.

7. Defendants’ unlawful collusion substantially affected interstate trade and commerce in the United States and caused antitrust injury to Plaintiffs and members of the Classes in the United States, including eliminating or restricting technology choices and causing Plaintiffs and the Classes to pay inflated, supra-competitive prices for the German Luxury Vehicles they bought or leased……”

XIX.http://www.classactionsreporter.com/...action-lawsuit & http://www.classactionsreporter.com/...c_compaint.pdf……..In order to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers, Mercedes vigorously markets its BlueTEC vehicles as “the world’s cleanest and most advanced diesel” with “ultra- low emissions, high fuel economy and responsive performance” that emits “up to 30% lower greenhouse-gas emissions than gasoline.” Mercedes represents that its BlueTEC vehicles “convert[] the nitrogen oxide emissions into harmless nitrogen and oxygen” and “reduces the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases by up to 90%.”

………….6. Additionally, Mercedes promotes its Clean Diesel vehicles as “Earth Friendly”: “With BlueTEC, cleaner emissions are now an equally appealing benefit.” In fact, Mercedes proclaims itself “#1 in CO2 emissions for luxury vehicles.”

…………..7. These representations are deceptive and false. Mercedes has programmed its BlueTEC vehicles to turn off or otherwise limit the effectiveness of the NOx reduction systems during real-world driving.

…………161. In the course of Mercedes’ business, it willfully failed to disclose and actively concealed that the NOx reduction system in the Affected Vehicles turns off or is limited during normal driving conditions, and that the Affected Vehicles emitted unlawfully high levels of pollutants, including NOx, as described above. Accordingly, Mercedes engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices, including representing that Affected Vehicles have characteristics, uses, benefits, and qualities which they do not have; representing that Affected Vehicles are of a particular standard and quality when they are not; advertising Affected Vehicles with the intent not to sell them as advertised; and otherwise engaging in conduct likely to deceive. Further, Mercedes’ acts and practices described herein offend established public policy because the harm they cause to consumers, motorists, and pedestrians outweighs any benefit associated with such practices, and because Mercedes fraudulently concealed the defective nature of the Affected Vehicles from consumers.

…………162. Mercedes’ actions as set forth above occurred in the conduct of trade or commerce.

…………163. Mercedes’ conduct proximately caused injuries to Plaintiffs and the other Class and Subclass members.

…………427. Mercedes actively concealed and/or suppressed these material facts, in whole or in part, to pad and protect its profits and to avoid the perception that its vehicles were not clean diesel vehicles and did not or could not comply with federal and state laws governing clean air and emissions, which perception would hurt the brand’s image and cost Mercedes money, and it did so at the expense of Plaintiffs and Subclass members.

………….428. On information and belief, Mercedes has still not made full and adequate disclosures, and continues to defraud Plaintiffs and Subclass members by concealing material information regarding the emissions qualities of its referenced vehicles….…

…………510. Because of the concealment and/or suppression of the facts, Plaintiff and Subclass members have sustained damage because they own vehicles that are diminished in value as a result of Mercedes’ concealment of the true quality and quantity of those vehicles’ emissions and Mercedes’ failure to timely disclose the defect or defective design of the BlueTEC Clean Diesel engine system, the actual emissions qualities and quantities of Mercedes-branded vehicles, and the serious issues engendered by Mercedes’ corporate policies. Had Plaintiff and Subclass members been aware of the true emissions facts with regard to the Affected Vehicles, and the Company’s disregard for the truth and compliance with applicable federal and state law and regulations, Plaintiff and Subclass members who purchased or leased new or certified previously owned vehicles would have paid less for their vehicles or would not have purchased or leased them at all”.

E. Whereas TOYOTA, LEXUS, HOLDEN, NISSAN and others have already recalled these dangerous engine defects "timing chain, sprocket, camshaft, valves..etc" free of charge to customers worldwide which can cause risk of crash and accidents - peoples lives internationally are protected by their actions through safety recalls made publicly .

ii). https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/201...3V395-3180.pdf

TOYOTA - LEXUS. RECALL : timing chain , sprocket dan camshaft

The engines in the subject vehicles are equipped with a Variable-Valve Timing (VVT) system which controls the camshafts to provide optimal valve timing under certain driving conditions. The bolts used to secure the housing and sprocket of the intake-side VVT gear assembly could become loose due to abnormal impacts generated within the gear assembly immediately after a cold start-up. If this occurs, the VVT gear will not control the intake valves correctly. In certain cases, the VVT gear housing and sprocket could separate and result in the engine stopping while the vehicle is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.


Number and Identification of Covered Vehicles

There are approximately 101,500 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall in the United States.


Remedy

Lexus dealers will replace the intake VVT actuator gears at NO CHARGE to the vehicle owner. For additional information on the repair procedures, please refer to TIS.

---------------------------------------------------------------New Zealand - 31st Dec 2007, 00:55

To the 30th Dec poster, I wrote the timing "chain" snapped, not the timing belt. The W168 A-Class does not have a timing belt. The chain is sealed in the engine and designed to never be changed. Unfortunately mine snapped at just 67,000km. The 1.6L engine is an 'interfering' type, so if the timing goes the pistons smash into the valves and bend them. After the engine was taken apart and rebuilt I saw the extensive damage caused.

----------------------------------


As part of the variable valve timing (VVT) system, the camshaft adjuster solenoid is responsible for allowing oil to adequately flow through the VVT system upon it’s engagement. The VVT system engages to deliver extra power to the vehicle when it’s traveling under added stress, such as when it is carrying a larger, heavier load, or when traveling uphill. Since the solenoid is necessary in order to allow oil to lubricate the timing chain and gears, if oil cannot reach these parts then too much friction can cause them to wear out quickly. This can lead to engine failure and expensive repairs………the most frequently documented occurrences take place in the Mercedes-Benz E350 from the years 2006-2012, but has also been documented in models like the C230. Failure usually occurs well before the 100,000 mile mark, which is generally too soon for this part to require replacement.

Mercedes-Benz recalls CLA, GLA, S63 to fix two separate engine issues October 29, 2015, 10:51 am by Justin King Camshaft welds are prone to failure in some engines, while the S63 requires a software update to prevent stalling.Mercedes-Benz has launched two separate recall campaigns, one to resolve defective camshaft welds and another to prevent stalling.The bad welds are associated with the turbocharged, direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine used in the 2015 CLA250, GLA250 and SLK300. A problem with a laser machine allowed some welds to shift out of proper alignment. The bad welds can potentially fail and damage the engine, increasing the risk of a crash due to stall while underway.The second recall focuses on the 2014 S63 AMG and the 2015-2016 S63 AMG 4Matic, including both coupes and sedans. A software error within the engine control unit can cause the engine to stall when coasting to a stop."The vehicle stall may be interpreted by the driver to be a planned shut-down as part of the ECO-Start-function," the company warns. "However, the engine will not restart automatically after releasing the brake pedal, immobilizing the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash."The campaigns list a total of less than 3,000 units. Mercedes-Benz plans to begin fixing cars by late November or early December”.https://www.leftlanenews.com/mercede...ues-90096.html

Law360, New York (March 24, 2015, 3:07 PM EDT) -- Plaintiffs suing Mercedes-Benz USA over allegedly defective engine parts have agreed to an unopposed deal that offers putative class members the potential to receive thousands of dollars in reimbursements to repair their vehicles, according to documents filed Monday in California federal court.

The accord stipulates that Mercedes will reimburse putative class members for repair costs they incurred to replace the allegedly defective engines and will cover future repairs on the parts at issue for the lesser of either 10 years or 125,000 miles. If the repair...

The recall will include certain C- and E-Class vehicles, as well as CLA, GLA and GLC vehicles. "This situation typically occurs in the rare situation where a vehicle is stranded in a significant amount of standing water and the engine stalls and cannot be restarted on the first try," a Mercedes spokesperson told CNNMoney

Automobile dealer Sterling Services Limited has been ordered to pay almost $400,000 in compensation to a customer to whom it sold a defective Mercedes Benz to in 2013. Danley Maharaj received the refund on the entire purchase price of the C-Class Mercedes Benz, after High Court Judge Frank Seepersad ruled that the company breached its contract by failing to properly address the defects experienced after purchase in August 2013. According to the evidence in the lawsuit, Maharaj was forced to return the vehicle eight times during the first six months due to a persistent “knocking noise” emanating from the engine. Maharaj sued the company after they refused his request for a replacement.

mercedes c300
Very new to this - got 2 questions. one about the windshield and one about the engine


Hi. First off my name is Doug. I have a 2016 C300 w about 40,000 miles on it. If I am doing this wrong please let me know. I actually have 2 questions. unrelated. But need advice.

The first one is an easier one. there are words that appear of my front windshield when the windows fog up. It looks like some how a inventory sticker or something got permantly imposed into the glass. It numbers and letters. I have cleaned the windshield many time inside and out and it still comes back. I can't find anything anywhere about this, but if it is an issue I would think mercedes needs to replace the window.

Next is the engine. My car all of a sudden starting sounding driving and acting horrible. The rpms shoot way up, The whole car shakes and sputters on idle. i have to floor it to go anywhere sometimes. I have taken it to 3 dealerships and they tell me its fine, But its not. i have people I know that don't even own a car that have rode w me all the time who tell me "this car is getting bad" Merecedes refuses to fix it. The first dealer found nothing the 2nd said it was all cause the A/C motor was bad. The 3rd said nothing was wrong. They gave me a loaner car of a 2018 C300 and even though it is newer, it drove the way my car drove 2 months ago. A 2 year old mercedes should not sound and drive like mine does. I have video, lots of video documenting noises, loud shut off and start, rpm jumping etc, and also video of the loaner car baiscally driving the way it should. Idk what to do. I been in contact w corporate who seems like there is nothing they can do. I need some way to get them to fix it. Thank you. please let me know if you can help or if i posted to the wrong area and how to get to whatever area I need to post to

Good morning everyone. I am looking for a little advice. I have a 2018 cla 250 thats chipped not much difference in the chip other than about a 10% rule increase. I am looking for a few answers. 1 will the 2014-2017 led head land fin in the 2018? second does anyone have a link to where I can buy a bolt on larger turbo? does anyone have a link to where I can order a airbag suspension kit for the car? last mod I want is what else can I do to make this little 4 cylinder more of a sleeper. Sorry for no pic of my car I don't have one on my desktop but its a black on black 2% tint the AMG sport package with the red trim.

s63
New s63 owner

Just recently bought a 2011 s63 and I am in love. I’ve owned other high end performance cars and non performance cars, this by far my favorite car and I will probably own it till the doors fall off. The one thing I’m amazed by is the price or front rotors, Jesus that’s a pricey rotor lol there has to be another option but outside of that I’m heads over heels in love. Amg over everything

C280
Hi, I'm Tricia. I live in Ocala, FL. I'm currently driving my boyfriends 1999 C280. I don't have a pic of it yet. I don't know a lot about Mercedes. I've only ever driven Camaros. I lost my job a year ago due to a huge lay off and I haven't been able to find work since. Needless to say, it cost me my car too. So my b/f was kind enough to loan me his C280. It's got a ton of issues which I'm trying to work through. Hopefully you guys can help me. Hope to be speaking with some of you soon!
