| Description of the problem | While i was driving on the highway & local roads, the car suddenly became unresponsive and started showing messages that all systems are inoperative. Pre safe functions limited,and inoperative traction control light comes on along with the blindspot not activated, esp system was off as well. The car started slowing down and had to be pulled over to turn off and on. This has happened 3-4 times and on busy roads, car is sent to the shop and only has 27000 miles. I am scared to drive as i could die in a car accident because of this [xxx] car. Mercedes need to recall this asap, if they are not then we should open a class action lawsuit against them as they are playing with our lives.
