2016 Mercedes Benz Metris engine problems

ENGINE

It has been two years after posting an issue with engine light on indicating the error code p052e which is a known problem on many models mercedes has. This metris van is not a passenger van but a commercial van. It has however the SAME engine and SAME error code as all the models mercedes having this engine. It is stated that it is under warranty by mercedes up to 150k, with the exception of the commercial van. This is ludicrous and a failure to correct a known defect and expecting the customer to pay the bill. It is also disturbing that the NHTSA does not communicate to the complaint or direct mercedes to FIX the problem. What happened to Quality and Customer care?

ENGINE

2016 Metris Engine M274 Check engine light, P052E71 Crankcase ventilation valve- Oil leakage- safety is compromised as this damage causes engine failure. The dealer has confirmed multiple oil leaks and other parts and service is required at extensive cost to me. This is the same damage and failure that passenger models with the M274 engine have an extended warranty available to them- my PASSENGER Metris with the exact same engine is excluded from this extended warranty.

ENGINE

The Crankcase ventilation valve called (Crankcase Rebreather)comes with a defect making engine light to come on after about an average of 50.000 miles, with a code p052e, preventing passing state vehicle inspection. Feedback from many Metris ownership highlights exact same challenge with engine light turned on at all times. But dealership is charging up to 3.000 dollars to remove their own faulty designed part.

ENGINE

CHECK engine Light CEL Code P052E suddenly turned on in the winter about 1 1/2 year ago, but turned off itself after a month. The Check Engine Light CEL code p052e turned on suddenly in June 2024 and stays on still. Emailed and complaint to Mercedes Benz USA and received no answer. MERCEDES BENZ USA given recall and Emission extended warranty on this code to all C, E, G, , SLC And SLK Class passenger cars with 2.0 Engine on August 25, 2023, but excluded my passenger van model, Metris, which has the same code and is a common problem. This is not right and not fair. Please advise and help.

ENGINE

Code P052E-71 Valve for crankcase ventilation has a malfunction Code P06DA-00 Actuation of the valve in the combustion engine has an electrical fault or open circuit. These codes have been reported on too many times on forums to not have these issues recalled and fixed and paid for by Mercedes. This expensive problem should not have occurred with such little mileage and have to be fixed by the consumer
