Consumer Description

ON 10-5-15, MY 2015 MERCEDES B CLASS WITH 3300 MILES DECIDED TO LOSE ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF 101 IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AT 15MPH, I HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE LANE. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART TO REGAIN POWER. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR SIGNS THAT THE CAR WAS BROKEN, I JUST SIMPLY LOST ALL DRIVE POWER EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN D. IT WAS SCARY AS I WAS ON THE 101 AT ABOUT 4PM. THIS ALSO HAPPENED AT ANOTHER WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, PLEASE GET MERCEDES TO FIX THIS BEFORE I GET REAR-ENDED AND CRUSHED.
