The vehicle has only 50K miles. I am the only owner and I purchased the vehicle in 2010 (new) with only 9 miles. I have completed all required services to date. In may I had the ab service complete and the check engine light was on. I was told it was likely due to the need of having the spark plugs change based on time not mileage. Now I am being told the outcome of the check engine light on is due to a misfire code for cylinder one, failed sds compression test. Cylinder one failed cylinder leak down test at 80%. exhaust valve seats failing causing exhaust valves not to fully close. We are unable to repair the valve seat on cylinder head and it is necessary to replace passenger side cylinder head. Only camshafts and cam adjusters can be transferred. New head will come with new valves. There are repeated reports from other owners with this same issue-resulting in enormous repair cost. This is a defect and Mercedes-Benz need to consume the cost, especially since the vehicle has less than $50K miles.

Knocking noise during vehicle start-up during vehicle start-up, 2 sec knocking noise, then noise stop. Drop vehicle off, advice service representative to the issue. After there inspection, service representative inform me this was normal, the noise I'm hearing is the engine is pushing the oil faster to the chamber, this process prevent vehicle warm-up wait, ask to speak with the service shop manager, still waiting. Yes, still have the knocking noise during vehicle start-up.

Was told to replace the serpentine belt tensioner. Asked why the belt tensioner needs to be replaced was told that they give out and if you are driving it could cause an accident. This is before the replacement cycle for the belt (90K miles). So many people won't know this will happen creating accidents that could be avoided.
