Description of the problem	As i was driving to come to a stop at a light, the engine light came on and the engine stopped in the middle of road. Luckly i wasn't on major highway or else it would have been a major accident. After reading farther reports this incident has happened numerous of time for the same issue and as what happened to me. Mercedes did not do any recalls or put out any safety notices to customers. This is major safety violation and i feel that they did not think about the safety of the customers. I contacted the mercedes headquarters and notified them of this issue and they had no answer for this problem. I felt my life was in jeopardy because of the problem with the manufacturing of the mercedes engines as well as the other customers that have brought up this complaint. They would not fix the problem instead offered a lousy incentive of $1000 toward new vehicle or $500 toward a certified preowned vehicle. Then they also charged me $800 to diagnose the problem. Then to tell me after that that it might not fix the problem and recommend a new engine. Why should i pay for a engine that goes out at only having 110000 miles on it. A top class car dealer and their engines go out at 110000 miles. Totally unacceptable.
