Submitted by counsel: steven d. Barnhart, ford & barnhart, llp; 6111 peachtree dunwoody rd., bldg. G, suite 100, atlanta, georgia, 30328; 404‑237‑2155, 404‑352‑0118. This problem is reportedly widespread among the m-class product lines. Specifically, the ignition/key contact design is such that the vehicle will turn itself off if the car hits a bump in the road. According to the dealer, this is attributable to additional weight created by the presence of other keys on the key chain.

Shutdown can occur at any speed, and has occurred at normal roadway speeds.
