Diesel Engine Problems of Mercedes Benz 300

Driving at 70 mph on cruise control and electronics on front dash went blank, car decelerated, and I had to get off the road before it stopped. Car would not start for approximately 30 minutes. Was able to restart and drive to safety. Drove car home after a few days - in area away from home and had to use rental.
