| My 1999 mercesdes benz engine stalled while i am driving. if i wait for a while , the engine would start again. after reading some complaints in the mbworld.org forum, i think that my car has problem with the crankshaft position sensor (cps). this problem is very dangerous as my car engine can be stalled while i am driving, especially on freeway. do you know if this problem ha been considered to be recalled? thanks. *tr | |||
