Description of the problem	The 2017 mercedes-benz c300 vehicle suffered a complete loss of power/electrics while in motion at speed and in traffic, causing the vehicle to unexpectedly stop on two separate occasions. The loss of all electrical supply leaves the vehicle immobile, without warning indicators and cannot be moved. The first incident was around 5pm in a busy road junction in the dark, with limited lighting. As the vehicle is black colored it it is difficult to see in these circumstances. The second incident was at another busy road junction in heavy traffic, at midday on a saturday. On both occasions the police had to attend as the immobilized vehicle posed a serious hazard with a risk of causing a collision to other road users. The approximate times to get the vehicle removed from the road in these two incidents were between 45 - 60 minutes. The period between the two incidents was 11 days. The day following then first incident, the vehicle was inspected by a mercedes dealership, who had the vehicle in their possession for five days. Initially they stated that they had not found a cause for the loss of all electrical power in the vehicle. Subsequently when pressed on the matter, they stated the cause was a connection problem to the positive terminal on the battery. In good faith the vehicle was collected by me and driven without any apparent problem for four days, prior to the second incident. The mileage driven in that period was less than 100 miles in total. This vehicle poses a serious risk to the driver, passengers and other road users.
