| Description of the problem | I was driving a of maybe ten minutes on the highway . As soon as i was off the highway ; the vehicle suddenly stopped without warning of a check engine light .(malfunction). Days before that the vehicle was serviced at a mercedes benz dealership without any issues. After their research i've been told that i need a new engine . There are complaints after complaints listed online in regards to engine failure, cam shaft adjusters etc. This is something that clearly needs to be handled . This could have caused a life threatening situation. |
