Terrible at guessing what the problem was with my ml 350 - bobbiekathy2016
Terrible at guessing what the problem was with my ml 350 came in to get it looked at no engine light no knocking or pinging had a bad tensioner no oil leaks no hard start just a rattle on the right side which was showed to me by a previous Mercedes mechanic which I new that's what it was but he couldn't get to it till the end of the month well my husband besides to take it to northlake which is an hour and 13 minutes away from us start of the car that morning no noise at all drive smoothly the kitten always has and so after keeping the car a few weeks they give us a bill of $8,000 if we would agree to let them done everything that they wanted to do it would have came to $10,000 we owed 4,000 on the car now my husband is not very mechanically inclined and I wasn't aware of anything and he wasn't aware of what they were getting ready to do to the car this was after the fact you know you sign a permission saying oh yeah you can dig around in my car or whatever fix it they don't tell you what to fix it okay so by the time it's up the papers that we get and received did not make any sense they changed camshafts they changed all kinds of mess avoided the main problem which was the tensioner they drove it a hundred miles said it was running in good condition then they came down and if you go to number seven you know how they have the numbers on the paper your receipt basically then they went and took this and change the exhaust cams and and put more seals on it put them back and all this and charged us also cuz our air conditioner wasn't working right it would stop working sometimes charged us $600 and some dollars to solder two prongs back into the plugin that goes to the air conditioner now that's bizarre to me because one of the safety features on a Mercedes will tell you it'll come up and say your special whatever you know are going to be deferred because they're trying to say power on something that's going on and that's the truth so what Mercedes did is they went in and they started for the most expensive thing that they could think of cuz there was no check engine light the car was not running poorly we drove it down there an hour and 13 minutes no shaking of the engine no breath item no bad smelling of our exhaust no missing no oil leaks was on the ground we didn't lose all ever nothing the car had no symptoms at all unless it had a cold start and it done a couple times until the mechanic that I had look at it told me to put the high quality oil in it it was really thick and he said that I should buy you some time so therefore me and my husband quit driving it you know off and all we might drove to the store and back but he quit making the noise of course because of the oil and the added if I put in it there's no shavings in my oil when I changed it so that tells me that there was no camshaft that had been shaved off or anything you know so all I could say is they guessed because they didn't know and that has to be the issue so I think I'm going to get in touch with them I'm not sure how to go about it because I know that all the stuff that they did in my car and the last thing they did was change the tensioner cuz their their story didn't make no sense at all on the paper you drove my car a hundred miles and then you said it was running fine and then you end up taking it back apart and changing the cans on the exhaust and then the belt tensioner and it set the timing on the car said my thing has spun off the cams okay now if all that would have happened to my car I wouldn't have made it there the timing chain would have broken you know what I'm saying if it's spun off the cam and the and all this this is it doesn't make sense people okay if you could just see it and read it so we had end up buying another car in order to try to get out of ourselves out of this Bond they put us in oh and more for the car repair then we go for the car and so I need someone to to me why you went and changed all that stuff when you really didn't
