| My 1999 mercedes ml320 stalled in traffic on the interstate. i had it towed to the dealer who replaced the crankshaft position sensor which showed a marginal problem. we picked up the car and brought to the attention of the manager that the check engine was illuminated. he said that was because there were some plugs misfiring, but that would have no bearing on the car stalling. the next day, the car stalled in traffic and was again towed to the dealer. they can find nothing wrong with the car and say it runs like a top. we refused to take the car until the problem was resolved so it was decided that a technician would drive the car until it stalled again. that has been going on for one week with no stalling. we are at a loss as to how to procede with this issue. we do not feel it is safe to drive the car because we fear it will stop again in traffic and cause an accident and/or deaths. | |||

| I have problems with my check engine light from and faulty oxygen sensor, the car was repaired under warranty. then i had a hose disconnect and lost power steering prior to the recall on the hose cloamp and i paid the towing and repairs myself. now i have had a major mechanical problem and on august 5th, my car lost power steering, air conditioning, the battery light came on and then my car began overheating. apparently the crankshaft broke and it shredded one of the major belts, which damaged the oil pan and water pump. i immediately pulled over and had the car towed 20 miles to the dealer. the bill is going to be $3000. i saw a similar complaint on the nhtsa web site. i am concerned that other consumers may have similar problems and may not be able to pull over safely, not to mention the cost of repairs. | |||
