Yesterday I got rear ended by another vehicle. This accident happened because my engine stalled while I was approaching an intersection and I was slowing down to make a turn. The cause of the accident was related to a known mechanical problem with Mercedes Benz. Failure of the cps (crankshaft positioning sensor) or also known as the reference sensor. I checked several mb forums and this problem is not unique, it has happened to many people already. I have been driving mb vehicles for over 15 years, and I find it hard to believe that mb has not done something about this type of failure. I am driving a '98 E430. Thanks.
Our phone/radio is not working properly. Mercedes says there is no replacement (they no longer stock the part). I thought that manufacturers had to stock replacement parts for so many years. Our car is a 1998 model. I consider this a safety problem because my wife can no longer get a hold of anyone by the phone in case on an emergency.
