While driving, the check engine light came on and the vehicle started making a rocking nothing, did not know what was going on and so i stopped vehicle on the shoulder. I checked the gas tank to see if there was a problem with the cover. Went back in the vehicle and tried to restart, vehicle would not start. I called the tow truck and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. Spent $576. For diagnosis and was initially told that the cylinder head was bent and the intake manifold had a problem. I was told me that i may need a new engine. I was told that it will cost $5600 to fix the problem after i complained to the corporate office then i was told that it would be $4300. Ii still do not have my car up to now because i was made aware that car needs a new engine. My car only has 84,000 miles. Very very upset with mb. *tr
