MY ML 63 AMG has 102K Km.

The check engine light came on and with in a minute the engine started making a funny noise.

It turns out that 4 out of the 8 pistons are mis firing.
Further more when Mercedes looked into one piston the noticed that the piston head was damaged. They claim that they have never seen this before.
The are asking for $84K to replace the engine. They also claim that they can rebuild the engine for $50 K


Has anyone heard of issues with ML 63 engines?

Anyone know what may have been the cause of the damage.
Any recommendation on how to proceed?

Mercedes first told me that i have to pay it.. but are now looking at paying for it
I have asked for a detail report of what happened and they have not provided it.
I do not have a voice recording of the noise, but it sounded like multiple gun shots...
