| The cam sensors on the mercedes m271 engine leak oil which spreads to other components via the wire harnesses connected to cam sensors. oil contamination will damage other electrical components (namely the ecu and exhaust oxygen sensors) if the cam sensors and wire harnesses are not replaced. a new cam sensor and wire harness has been designed as the corrective action. the defective cam sensor and wire harness were used on the previous engine design (m111). there is a technical service bulletin for m111 engine but not the m271 engine. mercedes refuses to recall this defective design on the m271 engine causing owners to pay for the $900 preventative maintenance. without this repair the ecu (part cost $2000) and oxygen sensors (qty 2 @ $250 ea) will be eventually damaged and will need to be removed and replaced. | |||

| This is a 2004 mercedes c230. check engine light went on. i went to dealer within 15 miles of warning light coming on. i was told that there was an oil leak and that it had dripped over the wiring harness. it would cost $3,500 to repair. i have never missed a maintenance on this car. they said the this happens because of where the o2 sensor is located. this is a defect and design flow created by mb. they should do a recall to protect the wiring harness | |||

| I have a 2004 mercedes benz c230. the alarm sounds continuously while driving down the road. when this happens, the key will not disable it. the dealership says there is not a problem with mercedes but i seem to find lots of complaints on internet blogs regarding other customers having the same problem. what is our right as a consumer? should there be a recall to get this corrected? *tr | |||
