“The car shakes, vibrates and has rough idling. My engines stalls when it is at low rpm. I am afraid that if this is not fixed a fuel leak could occur in the presence of an ignition source, such as hot engine or exhaust components, which could increase the risk of a fire”

“Engine misfiring. The cylinder needs to be replaced which causes the fuel-air mixture not to operate correctly.

“While driving the car shuts off and unable to restart. It will turn over but not remain started enough to move the vehicle. I did notice it jerk when speed was increased a few times before. Fuel pump was replaced less than a year ago according to Mercedes in Tuscaloosa Alabama. . After a certified Mercedes mechanic inspected the vehicle I was told it was the fuel pump once again. $4000+ later and I am having the same issue. Very frustrating to be stranded with my kids in the car.”
