Five problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2006 Mercedes Benz E350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2006 Mercedes Benz 350 e series had gotten in a accident due to the car stalling out. I have a code reader and will provide the necessary pictures I took the day prior of the accident.
The contact owned a 2006 mercedes-benz E350w. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. As a result, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. The air bags deployed. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The contact's vehicle was towed from the scene to mercedes-benz of ontario (3787 e guasti rd, ontario, CA 91761), but was not diagnosed. The contact's insurance company confirmed that the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 143,000.
The contact owns a 2006 mercedes-benz E350. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle stalled and the stop braking system warning indicator illuminated and flashed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to a local mercedes-benz dealer (located at 404 pennsylvania in PA 19034 866-383-0881) where it was diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer regarding the spc pump. The failure mileage was 101,000.
There is a serious safety issue with 2006 mercedes-benz e class (mbec) because of a manufacturer's and/or design defect which causes this vehicle to not go into proper gear and/or stall suddenly putting the public at risk. I barely escaped being smashed into by oncoming traffic while making a routine left hand turn into a gas station because my mbec was stuck in gear and did not accelerate as it was manufactured and designed to do but rather sputtered at less than 5 miles per hour (mph). The only reason I was not t-boned and likely seriously injured along with other people was because the other drivers swerved into oncoming traffic causing those drivers to also swerve. Miraculously no one was injured, this time. Also, the reason why I was turning into the gas station was because I was forced to get off the highway because my mbec would not change gear after I got on the highway and was approaching red-lining at and it seemed like the engine might blow. The tiptronic also failed during this malfunction. I had the authorized mb dealer that I have used since I purchased my mbec pickup my vehicle to look into this issue and my advisor told me I needed a new balance shaft because the one in my vehicle had prematurely worn (even though I have always stringently followed my mb advisor's suggestions) and it would cost roughly $6,500. S/he also said this occurs in roughly 15-20% of '06 mbec. But mb would not fix this safety defect unless I paid. Worse yet, my advisor never made me aware of this serious safety issue even though s/he previously knew or should have known and as a result put the public at risk by not enabling me to resolve this serious safety issue with my model year vehicle until the occurrence of a near catastrophe. There should be a safety recall now that this safety defect has come to light and unless there is, the public will remain at serious risk.
Gearing mechanism suddenly failed while driving thus causing the vehicle to stall. Was unable to move forward until the car was shut off, restarted and then car moved forward with a very jerky motion situation posed a dangerous hazard to passengers as well as other vehicles in the flow of traffic.
