Consumer Description

WHILE DRVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY WITH MY BABY ON BOARD, MY ML430 SHUTOFF. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE I WAS DRVING AROUND TOWN AND THE SERVICE DEALER DECLARED THE PROBLEM FIXED EACH TIME I REPORTED IT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN THIS TIME AROUND THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SAID IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND OWNERS OF THESE CARS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. I NARROWLY ESCAPED A COLLISION WHILE TRAVELLING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE NOTIFIED MERCEDES BENZ WHO ARE CLAIMING THAT NHTSA DOES NOT DEEM THIS TO BE A PROBLEM.
