Ethan - Yes i the the car was towed to MB in NYC. I believe the charges will be applied to my bill. The front right fender was painted and thats about it. The car has been serviced by MB from the beggining and they can see that. They are making it seem like they are doing me a favor by discounting me the $300. And i dont want to sound like a complainig house wife, but breaks cutting out while driving is pure BS! If they cant back-up their vehicles in this type of basic saftey failfure then perhaps a MB is not for me! I guess i will find out, and yes i will report all codes etc this afternoon. Thanks again Ethan and fellas
