NHTSA Complaint #11020711 — 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ GL350

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN BOISE GOING TO PORTLAND, I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOST OF POWER IN VERY DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SITUATION. THERE WERE A ROAD WORK AREA, I HAD SEMI-TRUCKS IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME. IT HAPPENED ON I-84W, AROUND 20 MILES OUT OF BAKER CITY OR, MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP BARRIER IN BELLEVUE. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAD FUEL, THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIMILAR INDICATION OR COMMING TECHNICAL ISSUE. THE CAR LOST POWER, I MANEGED TO MOVE TO SIDE THAT THE TRUCK BEHIND ME DIDN'T HIT ME! I CALLED A BAKER CITY TOWING, THEY TOW MY VEHICLE TO A SHOP IN THE TOWN, THE SHOP HAD RUN DIAGNISTICS, OIL WAS OK, OBD GAVE THEM 2 FAILURE CODES, THE TROUBLE CODE 126800, STANDART DIAGNISTICS COULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE FAILURE, FURTHER INTERNET SEARCH DIRECTED TU TURBO CHARGE FAULT AND ADVICED ME TO CONTACT MERCEDES. I CALLED BARRIER, THEY DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL, DIRECTED ME TO MB-ROAD ASSISTANCE, THEY ORGANIZED TOWING MY CAR TO MB DEALERSHIP IN BOISE. I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE WAY HOW THE CAR FAILED WAS NOT A 21ST CENTURY EXPERIENCE. NO WARNING, NOTHING TELLING ME THAT THE TECHNICAL STATUS OF THE CAR DETERIORATE..
