2016 G550 32k miles..leaking drip of oil every few days for months. Couldn't take in for service because of covid and bc it's so hard to schedule appt! CPO exp in 2/2021. I have an extended warranty through MBUSA. I tell the service advisor that the car has been babied...not off-roaded and he has the gall to say that I should have driven the car harder and that the cars tend to do better.

Long story short rear main seal has a leak. This would normally be covered under the extended warranty, but of course Fletcher Jones Motorcars found a way to try and not cover it. They are saying both...BOTH the left and right oil separators have gone bad (before 32k miles on the car...this is unheard of) and because these oil separators are not covered under the Mercedes extended warranty, they will not cover any of the repair. They want me to pay 7k dollars for a car that is driving great, no check engine light, not burning of oil.

I asked the service manager how they know the oil separators went bad first....maybe the rear main seal failed leading to the oil separators going bad and he said "I don't have a crystal ball." Problem is he's presenting this story to Mercedes Benz North America and therefore they are denying the claim.

Truly disgraceful. Be weary of servicing here. I have a car out of CPO warranty which would normally cover everything (this expired around 6 months ago...leak was happening then as well) and I purchased a Mercedes warranty on top of it. Good to know Fletcher Jones and Mercedes really stand behind their vehicles.
