I need to say that I'm a Canadian lawyer so the rules are different here.

If an American lawyer wants to contact me and discuss doing this together that might be worthwhile. However, I don't have any sense of how prevalent the failures are and whether MB knew of them, etc. etc.

If anyone has an idea of how often it happens and when (failure at 20,000 km. versus at 200,000 kms) and why (and how MB could have done something about it) I would be happy to consider trying something.
