3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2000

I had purchased a mercedes-benz E320 4 matic wagon on August 25th 1998 from millennium automotive group at bridgewater, NJ. Since then this car has stalled while driving on several occasions and was brought back to the dealer to be checked and serviced. The dates of service are as follows: 1) June 16, 2000 odometer 12,435 miles, 2) Jan 3, 2001, odometer 17,549, 3) Jan 29, 2001 odometer 18,008 miles, 4) July 25, 2001 odometer 21,797. During these visits to the millennium automotive group, we were reassured that this vehicle is safe to operate even though they are clueless as to why this vehicle stalled so many times. Many parts were replaced, and we were led to believe that the car was thoroughly checked and is safe to drive. However, this car stalled again at pulaski skyway during a rain storm and I was almost hit by the car behind me on Sep. 14. 2001. This car is indeed not safe to drive. Currently I am driving a loaner car from the millennium automotive group and I am pursuing for a full purchasing refund from Mercedes Benz USA pertaining to NJ state lemon law (njsa 56:12-29 to 56:49). I feel obligated to report this matter to you. If you believe you have more information or any legal advice to assist me in this matter, please contact me at 908-322-4730, or contact my husband's beeper at 201-422-2177. My husband, steve shih has full authorization on my behave to deal with this matter. Thank you.
