| Description of the problem | Regarding: odi id number 10130895 i had similar issues with the vehicle and mercedes benz could not replicate the problem and blamed it on me for driving with two feet. I don't drive with two feet and i refused to accept the car without anything being diagnosed and repaired. The next day they called and had a code for a faulty crank sensor which they replaced. I haven't noticed any problems since then but it was very unnerving to know my wife was driving this vehicle (ml500 '06) while these problems could happen. Someone should recall this immediately.*jb |
