What 2004 Mercedes Benz SLK32 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The car stalled at a traffic light after 15-minutes drive. Starter turned the engine just fine, but the engine won't start. After about 20 minutes I was able to start the car. Next day it happened again - after a drive car was parked at the store parking lot and it won't start once I returned to it 10 minutes. After unsuccessful attempts to start the engine for about 20 minutes, I was able to do so again. Both time the "check engine" light was illuminated and obd code was "p0335 - crankshaft position sensor a circuit malfunction". I'm deeply concerned with this safety issue, which appears to be quite common for the mercedes-benz cars.
