The fire department extinguished the fire. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.

While driving a mercedes Ml350 on the road, the engine turned off. I coasted to a stop on the shoulder of the road. When I tried to restart, the starter cranked but the engine would not start. When I tried again an hour later, the engine started normally. This happened again, later in the day. If I had been on a freeway, it would have been quite dangerous. I took the car to a mercedes mechanic who immediately knew what was wrong and he replaced the crankshaft position sensor. He said that this frequently happens with the Ml350.

: the contact stated while driving 35 mph during a downhill braking situation, there was a hesitation between braking and accelerating. The hesitation lasted between 2 and 3 seconds, and there was no rpm increase during that period. The vehicle was not taken in for service at the time.
