Description of the problem	Purchased this car brand new in august of 2011. Since then the car has died 3 times. The first time they thought it was the ignition. The second time, just 6 weeks ago, they could not figure out what was wrong so after 8 days, they gave the car back to me. Of course while they have it, it starts right up. What has happened is that i would get in the car and it simply would not start, won't lock or unlock and trunk would not open. Not even when i tried the key manually. It sounds electrical to me. The first time it happened, one of the mechanics told me he had not seen this problem with mb in 25 years. I am extremely unhappy and will not purchase another mb ever again.
