| Description of the problem | The car stalled at a traffic light after 15-minutes drive. Starter turned the engine just fine, but the engine won't start. After about 20 minutes i was able to start the car. Next day it happened again - after a drive car was parked at the store parking lot and it won't start once i returned to it 10 minutes. After unsuccessful attempts to start the engine for about 20 minutes, i was able to do so again. Both time the "check engine" light was illuminated and obd code was "p0335 - crankshaft position sensor a circuit malfunction". I'm deeply concerned with this safety issue, which appears to be quite common for the mercedes-benz cars. |
