2 Car Stall problem of the 2017 Mercedes Benz C300

Failure Date: 01/15/2021

When the car is in the a feature, where it turns on and off when not in motion, it gets stuck in that mode as if a magnet is holding it in that position. It will not move, it stalls. I turn it off and turn it back on and sometimes it still will not move, sometimes, it will not turn back on. This has happened on several different occasions. Once, I pulled to the side of my mailbox to pick up mail, and another occasion I pulled into my garage, and it stopped, and would not turn on. This is very dangerous, I would hate to be in traffic, railway crossing, ir stop sign and this occurred. Peoples lives have been lost due to this issue. One lady was hit by a train when this same situation occurred and lost her life. I am very concerned for my safety and of my grandkids whom I transport in this car. It also seems that something is wrong with the gears. Sometimes, I put it in reverse and it sits there. I put it in drive and it will not move. I feel very unsafe in this vehicle. Please help.

4 Car Stall problem of the 2015 Mercedes Benz C300

Failure Date: 03/11/2018

Dont know which category it falls. I bought this car in August 2015. In one week it would not start even. Towed to dealership and they said, the grounding screw was loose. I am so surprised that a car comes out from factory with a loose grounding issue. In the last 2 weeks, the car just stalled at the signal. All lights came up. I had the eco start/stop mode on. This happened 3 times and finally I shut the eco start/stop mode down. It is so dangerous that in heavy traffic, when people are ready to drive on change of signal, the car wont move, people are honking and frustrated and I am too. Looked online and so many people are complaining the same. The whole of dashboard lights up like when a car stalls. This is very dangerous. Anybody waiting behind you can take the pedal from the brake and smash into you. Similarly, for last 2 months, I have noticed that there is a jumping nature when you take leg of the brake at the signal. That scares me as well. From the feel of it, I feel this is primarily a software issue where the computer thinks it is in some mode when it is not or something and shuts everything down as a precautionary measure or something.
