Maybe someone can explain to me because I just don't understand. With all the issues of the new Common Rail Diesel, why does anybody want one? The last time I was in my Mercedes Benz Service Facility they had an ML BlueTec that either was misfueled or was fueled with contaminated diesel. They were already up to $7,000 in repair cost and had not completed all the repairs necessary. Similar issues with the VW TDI, misfueling or contaminated fuel will result in repairs averaging $8,000 with the entire fuel system needing to be replaced.

All I hear is issues with High Pressure Fuel Pumps, Diesel Particulate Filters, Ad-Blue Issues, and failed Turbo's due to the clogged DPF's. These are not your basic diesel's of yesteryear.

Add to that having no spare tire and having to deal with Run Flat Tire Issues due to the Ad-Blue tank occupying the space where the spare tire used to reside.
