Many owners of late-model mercedes-benz cars equipped with 3.0l and 3.5l v6 engines (m272 or m273) have experienced performance problems that include poor idle, loss of power and a check engine light with a p2006 code (or sometimes other codes). The shafts will fail inside the manifold and bind, causing the lever to break and the caps shown to look like they are popping off the manifold.

Vehicle would be stock on 1st or 3rd gear without any error code engine light or transmission light on. That can happen anytime. On take off at red light or cruising on 5th 6th or 7th shift. This is an automatic transmission with no mechanical issues. I am guessing it is a software issue. Very dangerous in traffic or high speed highway because the vehicle stalls unintentionally. A restart of vehicle fixes the issue.

Check engine light came on and mercedes dealer replaced camshaft sensor the vehicle had 52500 miles. Check engine light came on again I took it to an independent repair. They stated it is the same problem the camshaft problems. The vehicle has 68000 miles now and this should not be happening to this vehicle. It continues to have problems and I have contacted mercedes and they refuse to take responsibility for these premature issues I am having with this vehicle. I would like the government to put in a lawsuit for me and make it a class action law suit against mercedes because there are several consumers with this very same problem and mercedes isn't doing anything about it.

Clk 2006 defective balance shaft/timing chain: purchased our car new, have maintained it at the highest level, all recommended repairs and services completed when recommended and due, all done at the dealer where we purchased our car. Check engine light came on a few months ago, felt like the car was running rough, had it towed to the dealer, we were told there was nothing wrong. Without warning, on july 18, 2013 the check engine light came on again, took it in to the dealer, was told that the balance shaft w/ timing chain needed to be replaced it is a defective part. Mercedes is aware of the problem will pay for the parts; $1,700, however at this time has not allotted funds to cover the labor, which they need to do to make this right, total quote $7,300. At this point we do not know the extent of the damage to the engine. People buy a mercedes because they are the best and a the leader in the industry. I expect them at the least to cover all expenses related to the defective parts or pay us the purchase price of our car so we can start over.

The '06 clk 350 I am about to purchase was taken in for inspection and diagnostics for the cel. The dealership told me that there is a problem with the balance shaft, which would eventually lead to misfiring and other engine problems. I do not know the history of the vehicle prior to this, or even when the cel first came on. I am being told that the engine must be removed and torn down to repair this problem, and the cost will be upwards of $4000. It has less than 54000 miles on it.
