Electronic Stability Control problem #1

The car has a eco system which makes the engine stop when you come at complete stop to save fuel. When the incident happened, the car started with a huge jerk as if the gear box is broken. Now it is giving two difference messages: 1. Auxiliary battery malfunction 2. Pre-safe functions limited (see operator's manual) the car is jurking heavily. I took it to mercedes dealer in pleasanton, CA. The service agent asked me if I bought the vehicle from them. I told that I did by an s550 from them but not this one since they didn't have the specific feature which I needed hence I went to san jose Mercedes Benz who had the vehicle which had all the features of my choice. She then told me that it is pretty safe to drive and that they don't have time and slot to check the vehicle and I have to make an appointment to get it checked. I told them that "as long as it is safe to drive, I am not worried, however, to me it is quite unsafe". Due to this issue, I was parking the car in a parking lot of 76 gas station, the car engine stopped when I applied the break in the parking lot. I wanted to park it right so as I pull my feet from the break, the car jurked and hit the front guard from right side to the front parking (concrete stopper) stopper. I have to show it to the dealer during my appointment on Wednesday.
