Numerous complaints about a faulty crankshaft position sensor in Mercedes Benz vehicles that prevents cars from starting and also shuts them off whilst on the road and in motion. Car died on me 6 times. Luckily, I wasn't traveling very fast but this is very unsafe but I did cause a traffic delay and blocked the road several times while stalled.
