Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Mecedes benz 190e presents a very serious safety hazard to the occupants and other vehicles on the road. engine stalls. stalling occurs out in traffic. the auto is either making a turn at an intersection or stalls while stopped in traffic. when first the problem was encountered, we took it to the dealer and they replaced components, but to no avail.(we paid for these) when we returned to the dealer we were told that they would have to just keep replacing parts until it was repaired ( the cost of these expensive replacements labor in & out, if the part did not work, would fall on us). we have replaced parts with still no cure for the stalling problem.we have followed all the manufacture's operation and maintenance proceedures.the manufacturer was contacted twice by me. once they said that the san diego rep. would contact the dealer on another ocassion i left messages that were not returned. i am a retired teacher and cannot afford to purchase another vehicle and loose all that has been invested in this auto. more than that, the auto is a danger to drive. *ak
