Diesel Engine problems of the 1998 Mercedes Benz 300

Unintended sudden acceleration resulting in crash, resulting from oil into intake from seal on turbo charger. Car had been routinely serviced 5 days prior, with error message on air mass sensor. Part was replaced. This error message also occurred 15 months before, and was also replaced then. Car had been running normal prior to both servicing. No engine indicator warnings ever came on prior to crash. Seat belt apparatus also broke upon impact on drivers side when my head struck it.

Consumer attempted to start vehicle with no success. Checked oil and dipstick was dry. Consumer added additional oil and vehicle started. Rechecked oil and realized that it was overfilled. Took vehicle to dealer who diagnosed car has a defective "shut-off valve". Dealer informed consumer that if car is parked on an incline the oil and fuel will drain to an area outside of "shut off valve" making the car "think" it has no oil or fuel. Consumer stated contacted manufacturer who acknowledged that problem does exist. Ts.
