Numerous complaints about a faulty crankshaft position sensor in Mercedes Benz vehicles that prevents cars from starting and also shuts them off whilst on the road and in motion. Car died on me 6 times. Luckily, I wasn't traveling very fast but this is very unsafe but I did cause a traffic delay and blocked the road several times while stalled.

Vehicle is burning oil. Dealer said they can't find the cause of the problem. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet. Independent mechanic stated that the vehicle was burning excessive oil, and recommended that the dealer or manufacturer look into it.
