| Description of the problem | When idling at the light. The car would shut itself off. All the warning lights will come on. I then have to restart the car with the push start to reset it. Then it'll work fine. I have been to mercedes dealership in new rochelle for four times about this issue. They changed the battery the first time. Two days later the situation occurred again. Then the second and third time they gave me back the car and said they didn't see anything wrong because no codes popped up. Both times i took the car back and the situation occurred again. This problem has occurred over 30 times since over 29,000 miles. The dealership is trying to figure out the issue and right now i am in a loaner vehicle on the fourth time that i have given my car in for service because of this situation. The incident is dangerous in that one time i was in an intersection and it shut off on me. Cars going the opposite way almost hit me because of my reaction time to put the car on start and then restart the car. This can be potentially dangerous for possible accidents. In addition, i have looked online and similar problems have occurred with older models and other models. |
