Description of the problem	On february 18/2011 and while driving my 2005 slk 350 start shaking and the light "check engine" turned on. I took the car to the dealer and it was returned a couple of days after and i was told that the car is ok. There is/ was no problem with the engine and the light was reset to normal. After a couple of days the car start shaking again and the light "check engine" was on again. The car was taking to mercedes dealer and same answer the car is ok or we have not found any problem with the engine and the light was reset back to normal... Well, it had happened two more times since then. Today is march, 31st and the light is on again and i am driving a car that keeps shaking and i feel very much unsafe. I am driving a very expensive car and i can't accept and i will not accept the idea that i should be driving a car that does not make me feel safe. The service at the mercedes dealership has been good. They have taking my car from my office and brought me a loaner car and they are kind to me and i do appreciate that a lot; but, at the same time, i feel that if the technician can't not find the problem, something is very wrong and why my safety should be expose. Why am i driving an expensive car that it is not reliable and it is giving me additional stress that i don't need. My question is: is mercedes indeed a reliable car? Why am i not having a peace of mind while driving? What kind of danger am i expose to while driving a car that has a "check engine" light on? Why am i driving a car that is shaking? How much patience should i have? Why do i need to pay anything extra for a car that their own manufacturer doesn't know what the problem is? What is mercedes doing for the safety of their clients? Mercedes had called me today and they will pick up my car tomorrow and "spent" more time trying to figure out what the problem is. I thought that's what they were doing this last 4 times the car where taking to the shop. What are my rights.
