Consumer Description

SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IT CONTINUES TO HESITATE AND STALL OUT GIVING A "START ERROR" ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAD CONFIRMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, GERRY GRIFFITH (CAR PURCHASED IN INDIANAPOLIS, RECENT MOVE TO ALABAMA), THAT THE MODEL M-CLASS HAS PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. JUST HAD TO SPEND $1000+ ON A "FIX" AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF PURCHASING THE CAR. DETAILED SERVICE RECORDS ARE NOT GIVEN TO THE CUSTOMER ONLY A BRIEF SYNOPSIS AND ALL WORK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT REPORT, I.E., THE ACTUAL TESTING CODES, ETC. *JB
