While driving the car shuts off without warning. After the engine shuts down, it will start after waiting for about 1 minute.
Driving on highway in left lane doing around 60mph and car goes into limp mode taking away all throttle control. I was forced to coast across lanes narrowly avoiding a collision and managed to pull into a bus stop. I learned that limp mode is to protect the car from further damage but the safety of the driver should come first. There should at least be some kind of advanced warning to pull vehicle over before it shuts down. This is completely unacceptable and endangers the life of the driver and other drivers on the road.
On multiple occasions, the vehicle will shut off while driving. The message states "pre-safe functions limited". When the car shuts off for no apparent reason, I have to coast to the side of the road to safety. I have turn the vehicle off and then I will be able to restart the engine. I've already taken this into my mercedes dealership and they did not fix the issue. I'm afraid this is going to cause a fatal accident and I have two small children. Please make this a high priority.
I was driving on a main road when suddenly the car shuts off completely. I could not get it to start, nor put it on neutral gear, to at least push it away. A message in red pops up on the screen that says "service required, do not shift gears, visit dealer". I could not push the car at all, because the gear shifted automatically to parking and it won't move to neutral. I was stuck on the main road for 15 minutes. I was lucky not to get hit or run over by the incoming traffic. I caused a panic on the street because I was blocking it. Fortunately, a police car showed up, and the officer helped me by diverting the traffic away from me. I had the car checked two months prior to this incident at the dealer, and they told me that there is nothing wrong with the car, and that they have updated its software to the latest version. I had the car towed back to mercedes-benz now, and will wait the results.
