problem #1

CLK430 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,000 miles
Car engine shut off at traffic light with traffic build up behind me. After an hour of waiting for tow truck, it suddenly started again. Took it to garage which changed the crankshaft sensor for $308.55. Apparently, faulty crankshaft sensor is a known common problem with Mercedes clk cars!!
