Due to the sound of the fan motor which stays on after you shut off the car, it is possible that the engine was still running when I thought it was off. Please note that my garage is attached to my home. Around 1am I awoke and went into the bedroom on the far side of my home which sits directly above my garage. When I entered this room I heard a noise, like some kind of motor but at the time I had no idea what this was. …”

“Radiator failed after driving on the highway. Radiator failed due to an item passing through the grille in the normal course of driving causing coolant to leak from car. Low coolant warning light indicated that coolant was low. Car was inspected by dealer who determined that an external influence(road debris or a small rock) passed through the front car grille and striked the radiator causing the radiator failure.

“Vehicle has issues maintaining power and attempts to stall in traffic. It also shakes violently at idle. It was diagnosed by the dealership and determined that the cylinder head was damaged and needed to be replaced for $7200.00 since there was no warranty. Vehicle was purchased used and the Issue was noticed 6 months after purchase at 70-80 thousand miles. After researching the issue, this appears to be a known problem with the 4 cylinder Mercedes vehicles, but only specific models were covered under the extended warranty for replacement.”
