i reciently purchased a used 2001 c240 and 60 miles from the dealer i passed a car and noticed the check engine light was on. When i pulled over the car was missing and shuddering to the point of almost dying. i then turned the car off and then back on and it was fine except the light was still on and the incident did not happen again but the check engine light was on so i took it back to the dealer to get it checked. When I took it back to the dealer, they put it in an authorized mb dealer shop.
About two weeks passed and now the mb shop says they could not figure out what it was and called mb in germany and they told them to replace the fuel pumps and if that didnt work replace the ECU. The shop said that the work would total around 4000.00. The shop also says the dealer i bought the car from is not authorizing the repair because it is not covered under the powertrain warranty.
I am supposed to pick up the car from the dealer tomorrow and my question to yall is: should i fight the dealer and not pick up the car and refer them to my lawyer or pick it up and try and fix it myself...any suggestions? does it sound like the shop diagnosed it right? ...I have been driving the car i am supposed to trade in for this car right now so if i dont pick up the mb what should i do with the car im driving(my trade)
thanks for any advice, I know im a new member and dont get alot of replies but this is kinda a crisis in the household at this time and any help would be appreciated.
