Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway doing around 70 mph and all of a sudden my car lost power and start shaking acting like it didn't want to go forward, i was afraid that it was going shut down on me and a lot of cars was coming behind me i was so afraid i was going to be in a bad accident, i was able to get over and come to a complete stop without incident, but i was afraid the car was going to shut off on me and not start back up but i manage to make it home because i was only a few miles away. The next day i took the car to be diagnose because the check engine light came on i went to the automobile repair shop to have it diagnose and the code came up for camshaft position sensors i had them replaced, then my car started hesitating to start and the check engine light would come on and then go off while i was driving and i would drive it for about 30 mins and the check engine light would come back on again stay on for a little while and go back off again, i took it to the dealership again and i was inform that it was the timing chain but i didn't believe it, because i had just replaced the sensors and the spark plugs and i didn't have that many miles on it and i have only had the car for 3 1/2 years, i still didn't believe it then my car started to hesitate on starting up and loosing power when i was driving it again, so i took it to another automobile repair shop that specialize in fixing mercedes benz and it came back with the same diagnose check engine light is due to timing chain, timing chain need replacing. I have already replace 2 camshaft position sensors on this car. I was told it will cost me around 5000. 00 to fix it. I have always had my car maintenance service on time, i can't believe that this car is having this type of problems. I am so afraid to drive this car.
