On sept. 10, 2020 while driving on the westbound long island expressway, near exit 19,in an afternoon rainstorm, my 3 year old mb E300 was flooded through the rear view mirror mount and the column on the drivers' side, separating the windshield and door. Water cascaded from these areas and flooded the floor. All electronic components on the floor, under the front seats, were shorted out. This brought the car to a complete and sudden standstill in traffic on the highway. The engine continued to run but the car would not drive or move, potentially putting my life in jeopardy. The shift lever would not put the car into drive, reverse or neutral. The car needed a tow on a dolly off the highway and it continued to run for hours. The windshield wipers would not turn off and the windows could not be shut. Just about every warning light in existence was on in the dashboard. The engine was finally shut down, after over 4 hours, when the car arrived at rallye Mercedes Benz in roslyn, NY. This sudden stop, in a running car, on a limited access highway could of been deadly. The car had recently been serviced at rallye motors.

When applying gas after braking, the car has an intermittent stutter. The car was recalled for a transmission issue and after the recall was performed, the problem appeared. Local dealer calls it normal.
