THE ENGINE HYRDO LOCKED AT 66000 MILES AND FAILED A PISTON ROD ACCORDING TO MERCEDES. CAR WAS MAINTAINED AND SHOWED NO ABNORMAL FUNCTIONALITY, JUST PRIOR TO INCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ENGINE LOCKED UP. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH FAILED HEAD BOLT STUD.

HEADING WEST ON I-10 AROUND 7PM ON OCTOBER 17, 2015 JUST BEFORE MILE MARKER 42. ROAD CONSTRUCTION CUT OLD ASPHALT OUT AND LEFT A GROOVE OVER 4" HIGH. I CHANGED LANES AND BLEW ONE TIRE (CUT SIDE WALL STRAIGHT THROUGH ON RIGHT FRONT TIRE) OUR AND GOUGED THE OTHER TIRE. BOTH TIRES HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY ONE RIM IF IT IS BENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE DAMAGES THAT THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE.
