2016 Mercedes-Benz C300 - ENGINE Failure Complaint (#b0c1aa)

2016 Mercedes-Benz C300

  • Date of Incident: Apr-18, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-18, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE

A couple years back i had an engine light pop up and it was the code p052e which as i’ve done my research and read a lot of forums this is a common problem with the w205 mercedes motors. As of today 04/18/24 the engine light came on and i got it diagnosed to find out it is the same problem again. This repair is almost $2000 and it is due to mercedes faulty manufacturing of the pcv valve. I have read things that say there has been extended warranty on it and a lot of submissions for recalls, that i’m not exactly sure of.
