“In 1993 I had a problem with the vehicle engine shuting down while driving if at any speed. I would step on the gas and the vehicle had no power. It would restart and I could proceed. It was very dangerous and sometimes I was making a left turn and oncoming traffic was approaching. The vehicle was under warranty by Mercedes-Benz and I took it in. They replaced the ingnition control module and overload protection relay. In july 2000, I had the engine shutting down again. It was very intermitten but finally I had it towed to the dealer in nashville on august 7, 2000. …”
