Car started to vibrate at idle then graduated to shaking at all times even during acceleration. Acceleration very slow, stuck feeling. Brought to Mercedes at 28K miles. They stated it is a cracked piston in cylinder 1. this is apparently a very common issue with this engine but there are no recalls yet.
