Tried to rest it and restart but problem persists...will have my mechanic look at it after the holiday but I am curious if anyone has had this happen and if you know what the problem is. Car has 105k miles.
Thanks
Good luck.

I know it says maintenance, but after you enter your vehicle's details, you'll get to a page where you can review recalls and technical service bulletins. I only saw one recall, but the first TSB (top of the list) under "Electrical," there was something about a cam sensor solenoid.

By all means, have the car checked out prior to purchase.
Give 'em a chance. Discouraging I know, but maybe it's some nit-picky little thing.
*Windshield wiper mechanism failed 3x last resulted in sudden loss of vision and serious accident, write off.
** transmission replaced 2x (one in warranty) second $3,000.00 bill.
***Engine harness $1,000.00
****Air mass sensor $800.00
*****Computer (used one ) $900.00 engine stalling during normal driving city and freeway.
******Instrument cluster, in warranty. Failed again when out of warranty.
Like most owners, I did not get anywhere with Benz service, even so I brought up the problem to service manager while the car was still in warranty. Lovely car, cheap to buy compared to cost of ownership.
Please be sure to report the problem to the NHTSA at www.safercar.gov.
If they get enough complaints, they have the authority to investigate and recommend a recall if they think it's warranted.
