| Description of the problem | It happened two times the past 20 days. Car engine stopped suddenly while driving. First time at a speed of about 20 mph, second time on hight way about 70 mph. It was extremely dangerous the second time because i was right at the port getting onto the high way and i found the engine went off. No response while pushing the accelerator pedal down. I did not have time check what the problem was because two other vehicles at back almost crash on me. I stopped the vehicle on the side of the high way entrance immediately and restarted the vehicle (i knew from last time it worked by doing this) and got back on the road. This was a serious/fatal problem. I saw others complain about their mercedes-benz c series having similar engine shutting off on the road problem, too. There was one person asked on yahoo answers about the same problem, however he did not get a response from anyone. Https://answers. Yahoo. Com/question/index? Qid=20151004200837aasqx6b i'm also making some screen shots of people with c300 filed complains about the problem. The manufacture need to pay attention to the problem. |
