Description of the problem	While driving between boise going to portland, i experienced sudden lost of power in very dangerous traffic situation. There were a road work area, i had semi-trucks in front and behind me. It happened on i-84w, around 20 miles out of baker city or, my car is well maintained at the dealership barrier in bellevue. There was no warning that something is wrong. I had fuel, there were no warning lights or similar indication or comming technical issue. The car lost power, i maneged to move to side that the truck behind me didn't hit me! I called a baker city towing, they tow my vehicle to a shop in the town, the shop had run diagnistics, oil was ok, obd gave them 2 failure codes, the trouble code 126800, standart diagnistics could not recognize the failure, further internet search directed tu turbo charge fault and adviced me to contact mercedes. I called barrier, they didn't help me at all, directed me to mb-road assistance, they organized towing my car to mb dealership in boise. I would like to emphasize that the way how the car failed was not a 21st century experience. No warning, nothing telling me that the technical status of the car deteriorate..
