The engine in these cars are defective and can cause serious harm due to a part that was put inside the motor made of plastic. There was a lawsuit but if you didn’t get in on it you losses out for not knowing. I was recently at Mercedes dealership to fix recalls and they brushed me off. The car can catch fire and I’m already experiencing engine failure after only owning the car for a year. They don’t care because it’s an old car but it’s still being sold to unsuspecting buyers. I’m not the only one there are thousands of us who are at risk driving these cars because Mercedes won’t admit their off the showroom floor mistake.

At 73,480 miles this 2006 mercedes has a faulty conductor plate valve that needs to be replaced. This faulty conductor plate/speed sensor causes the car not to shift from 1st to 2nd gear and instead spins without going into gear. This vehicle has been in motion while this occurs. At stop light, tried to accelerate forward and could not. Shut car off and restarted. Cars in back of me proceeding = dangerous situation to be turning off ignition and restarting car only to move forward! There were also previous occurrences of the same incident.
