Description of the problem	Am concerned with this 2008 mercedes i own with similar issues as gmc cars with the ignition/key/engine just stopping... Car lost all power and wheels locked. The car was driving well one moment then stopped. Was not injured but was left stranded at night getting off work with no car.... Had to have it towed out of parking lot which was quite difficulty with wheels locked.... And taken to mercedes dealership. It was repaired for 800. 00$... And i asked if this would happen again and was told "probably".... Have noticed online this has been a know issue in the 2008 model..... My question is why is mercedes not held accountable for faulty part like gmc is..... And i have hear this has happen while the vehicle has been moving too.... That scares my greatly..... The dealership of nashville would not even address any concern with me about this.... *js
