I was driving a mercedes-benz ml320 on august 02, 2011. The car engine suddenly and completely shut down while I was driving. I got stuck on the inner lane of homestead rd, cupertino, ca. Fortunately I was not on a highway, otherwise, I don't know what would happen to me. I got my car towed to the mercedes service. I was told that the crank sensor did not function properly. This costs me almost my life and $500. I think it's very dangerous to passengers if a car completely shut down while driving. Mercedes-benz should have done a better job to prevent this from happening. To my point of view, this is a design flaw. I want to share this experience to all drivers with the same model and have them watch out the same situation may happen.

I was driving and the catr started stalling. I tried to turn off the road and I could not turn at all becasuse the steering wheel could not turn. It felt like it was locked. I called the mercedes roadside assistance and their representative said that the power steering hose unsnapped, as a result, he had to go to a local track auto store to buy a temporary part to replace it. This was a scary and close call as I saw a metro bus almost run into me as I was trying to maneavor the car out of the way.
