2007 Mercedes-Benz E350 engine problems

Filed Dec 23, 2023 · Engine · AL

Vehicle began shaking on the highway. It was coming from under the front hood and was shaking the steering wheel. The check engine light came on. I pulled over and had it towed to the Mercedes repair shop. They said it was related to a bad balance shaft and that it was a systemic problem with the engine in certain Mercedes e350s. I was told I needed to replace the camshaft and it would cost $6,000!!! After some research, it looks like Mercedes agreed, back in 2015, to cover only certain of these Mercedes, but there was no recall. I could have been killed if I was rear ended.

My vehicle shut off while I was driving on a main street. Two minutes later I could start it. Then next day I could so I took it to a trusted mechanic and was informed about recall. It hasn't started since. The mechanic isn't certain about exactly the problem but said there was some misfires on sensors. Unknown exactly what's wrong. I did get a letter in the mail about a recall offered to me if similar conditions happen.
