| Description of the problem | 30 aug. 16 took my 07 e350 with 29427 miles to the dealership because the check engine light came on and the car was hard starting. After arriving i informed the service writer the car had shut down while driving. We were proceeding through a busy major intersection when the car shut down. Luckily it started so we could safely exit the busy major intersection. After a diagnostic test was ran, i was informed the crankshaft hall sensor was defective. Additionally, the engine control unit, engine wiring harness, crank sensor and various other components are oil soaked. I notified mercedes benz to be told the car was out of warranty. Mercedes benz should be held accountable for the unsafe defective materials they use. The above issues are a danger to the occupants and general public as well. The defective oil soaked wiring harness is can cause a fire. The car shuts down while driving is dangerous. |
