| Description of the problem | This car left me stranded on the side of the road. The car was on working fine driving along then all of a sudden pushing the gas pedal did nothing and the car would not move. The engine shut off completely. The engine was not getting gas. The electrical and everything else was on in the car except the engine. The system in this car has a double fuel tank that only works on one side. The entire fuel system is faulty. The manager at mercedes told me himself that this is a design flaw in this car. There is no reason why a car with 24,000 miles should have broken down on the side of the road because the entire fuel system does not work. Faulty and horrible workmanship on a supposed luxury vehicle. |
