I just wanted to add.......I'm not trying to rip anyones head off. I have warranty (an extended aftermarket one) on the car and they are covering everything except $93.00 outta' pocket. The dealership has my car now and they gave me an '05(or '06?) C240 for the weekend. It could be way worse, I guess. I am just curious how this might have happened. Thanks for the replies so far y'all.
