AT SEVERAL POINTS DURING A ROAD TRIP THIS PAST WEEKEND, MY 2001 MERCEDES C240 SUDDENLY DIED WHILE CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR IN THE MONTHS LEADING UP TO THIS INCIDENCE. HOWEVER, SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALER CHECKED THE CAR AT THAT TIME BUT NEVER TOOK ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION. IN THE LATEST INCIDENCES THIS PAST WEEK THE STALLING PUT ME IN IMMEDIATE DANGER OF BEING HIT BECAUSE THEY HAPPENED ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER AND NO PLACE TO PULL OFF TO SAFETY.

FORTUNATELY, AFTER EACH INCIDENCE OF STALLING I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY RESTART THE CAR AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE MERCEDES DEALER IN THE MORNING IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AS OF NOW I HAVE NO INDICATION OF THE CAUSE. UNTIL IT IS FIXED, I CONSIDER THE CAR TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 54000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBRF61JX1F.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 MERCEDES C240 AT FREEWAY SPEED.

I NEARLY WRECKED MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO REACH MY BRAKE PEDAL BY SCOOTING WAY FORWARD IN THE SEAT, AND I ALSO WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE STICKSHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER. I HAD BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FREEZING UP, BUT I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE RELAY SWITCH CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRIC WINDOW, COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHORT, AND THUS INITIATE THIS MOST DANGEROUS "EASY EXIT" FEATURE. I HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ALL OF THE DOOR MOUNTED CONTROLS, OFF AN ON. I HAD EVEN COMPLAIN TO THE DEALERS SHOP.

MERCEDES BENZ 240 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 24, 2011.MERCEDES BENZ 240 2001, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with SUSPENSION . I HAVE HAD TWO COIL SPRINGS, FRONT AND REAR, BREAK ON THIS CAR WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A CORROSION PROBLEM, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE. THE MB SHOP REPLACED THE OLD SUSPENSION PARTS WITH NEW PARTS FOR ALL FOUR WHEELS. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR OR CONSEQUENCES AS THE COIL BROKE AT THE END WHERE IT SITS WITHIN THE CUP. IF IT BROKE IN THE MIDDLE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A TEMPERING PROBLEM WITH SPRINGS, WHICH WOULD BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I HAVE THE OLD PARTS IF SOMEONE WISHES TO EXAMINE THEM. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 74510 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBRF61J91F.
