| Description of the problem | I was driving on i-85 at 70 miles per hour. The car stop accelerating and on the dash board a message of inoperative, see manual. I was almost hit by many cars. I coasted to the side of the interstate. I almost freaked out. I called the mercedes dealer and i was told to cut the car off and turn it back on. That didn't work. I had the car towed to the dealer. The dealer told me they did some updates and fixed the car. The car did the same thing 2 other times. I could have been killed in the traffic. This time i took that death trap back to the mercedes dealer and left it and informed the dealership to give me another car or give me my cash money back that i paid for the car. I am not taking the car back. I am afraid i will be killed in the car. This is the most scary experience. The dealership told me that there is know fix for this problem the car needs to be grounded before someone get killed. |
