Description of the problem	Without a warning or any dashboard lights my car did not start one morning, it made a gunck sound and absolutely nothing would turn on. My neighbor then tried to jump start the car and only the radio would turn on. I then called aaa who was the able to start my car and said the battery was good and that i should be okay to drive. (i had left nothing on the night before) i then went on a 3 hour drive during the christmas break and about and hour in the car began acting weird almost as if it wanted to shut off, and randomly a service "abs and esp" and "air bag" and few other things would come on the dash board. As soon as i got to my destination and turned the car off the car went completely dead, this time i wouldn't even let me lock the car with the fob. I had aaa come again and they were able to with a little playing around with the key and ignition, turn it back on. My whole drive back was worse than the drive there that i even thought i wasn't going to make it home safely but i made and again as soon as i parked, the car died. Since it was the holidays i wasn't able to go to mercedes and in the meantime for 3 days tried to get it on but nothing with both sets of keys, this time it wouldn't even let me unlock the car and the alarm kept going off when i would try to unlock it . I called aaa again to unlock and start my car but were unable to start the car, the alarm kept going off every time we put the key in the ignition. When looking at the symptoms my car is having online this seems to be a common problem in this make and model. The closest mb to me is about a 40 minute drive and will be very costly to have it towed and from the complaints read most have had to pay between 1200 -1500 to get this problem fixed. I have had my vehicle for under 2 years, 95k miles.
