Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While drving in the left lane of a highway with my baby on board, my ml430 shutoff. this happened before while i was drving around town and the service dealer declared the problem fixed each time i reported it. when i took the car in this time around the dealer immediately recognized the problem because they said it has been happening to others. this is a very dangerous situation and owners of these cars should be notified immediately. i narrowly escaped a collision while travelling at a high rate of speed. i have notified mercedes benz who are claiming that nhtsa does not deem this to be a problem.
