CAR COMPLETELY SHUTOFF TONIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD NUMEROUS MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY, INCLUDING "SERVICE REQUIRED, DO NOT SHIFT GEARS, VISIT DEALER" AND "ESP INOPERABLE, SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL". THE CAR WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ONCE I PULLED OVER, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, NO NOISES, NOTHING. MB ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CAME AND TRIED TO JUMP START AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO NO AVAIL. SO, OFF ON THE TOW TRUCK IT WENT. *TR

I JUST PICKED UP MY CAR FROM MERCEDES SERVICE TODAY, 7/10/2014 FOR THE ISSUE DESCRIBED BELOW. IT HAD BEEN IN SERVICE SINCE 7/1/2014. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ONE PART THEY NEEDED WAS BACK-ORDERED AND UNAVAILABLE FROM MERCEDES SO THE MECHANIC REBUILT THE CONNECTION. THAT STILL DID NOT STOP THE FAULT CODE SO IN CONSULTATION WITH MERCEDES THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND BELIEVED THEY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED TODAY, APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUT…

DISPLAYED SHOWED THE MESSAGES "PRE-SAFE INOPERABLE" AND "SEE OWNER'S MANUAL." AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR, AND WAS RETURNED TO ME AFTER THE SERVICE ADVISER ADVISED ME THAT THEY COULD "FIND NO CODES." THE VERY SAME ERROR OCCURRED A FEW DAYS LATER. THIS TIME THE SERVICE ADVISER SAID THAT ERROR CODES WERE…
