What owners wrote
The check engine light came on and the engine started making a "clicking" noise. I took the car to the mercedes dealership and they said that the balance shaft gear was completely deteriorated. They described the gear as "chewed up"! I had no choice but to pay $4,000.00 to get the engine removed from my car and have the balance shaft replaced.
The engine dies suddenly while driving. Cause unknown. Car will restart without trouble, but the suddenness of the problem is really startling and could be very dangerous on the freeway or on a winding road at speed.
