The cel came on and the engine was having a rough start. I took it to the repair shop and after using the star diagnostic system the diagnoses was camshaft adjusters in failure. The remedy replace the camshaft adjusters. Cost $3500.

problem #1

C250 4-cyl

  • 3,400 miles
On multiple occurrences the vehicle has started to misfire at random times and speeds ranging from 45-70 mph resulting in "limp mode" or a stalling condition. The check engine light comes on, but will not be on when the vehicle is restarted. The dealership on no occasion has been able to duplicate my concern although others have been in the car to witness. I feel very unsafe driving the vehicle as when it stalls on the highway, I lose steering and brakes as well.
