OK, so my 2012 E350 Bluetec qualifies for the Complimentary Emission Modification and I can get either a 4 year/48,000 mile Extended Warranty and $2000.or a 10 year 120,000 mile Warranty. The 10 year Warranty sounds like the way to go, under normal circumstances... But I am hearing that there are problems with the modification including engine issues so I wonder if this car will still be running in 10 years. I have 100K on the engine and the car is in great shape in all regards. Yeah $2000 sounds nice but any engine problem will run a lot more than $2000, a whole lot more... I had planned on keeping the car for at least another 200K.

I would like to hear from you guys/gals that have had the modification. What is the consensus regarding the 4year VS 10 year warranty?

I appreciate your response.

I guess they must have changed the warranty since I had my car done in late December 2022 as the only offer I got was a 4 year extended warranty and $3200.00. I had my car updated but don't know when I will see the money. And yes there are problems with the so called update. I was getting 42 MPG highway before the repair and now I get maybe 36 MPG and just had my CEL come on.

Well poo poo, I would probably take the $3200 with the 4 year warranty... They only offered me $2K. So I called 2 weeks ago for an appointment and they said they had to order the parts. Called today and was told the parts are on back order from Germany. Problem, the warranty and money offer expires ends 3/31/23 so MBZ so needs to get something together here. $3200. Really? That kind of chaffs my hide some... just cuz your car is a year older?

I don't think it has anything to do with the year model. The recall notice I received in the mail last November stated the offer was only good if the repair was completed before 12/31/2022. So my guess is after that offer expired they made a change. I had the repair done and the dealer paid for a rental car for the 2 weeks they had my car.
