Car stalls. Unable to restart until after a short period of time. On 03/03/14 brought to dealership who replaced engine crankshaft position sensor for $842.04.. Problem persisted and car kept stalling in traffic posing potential safety issues.. Returned to dealer on 05/17/14 and the control unit was replaced for a total cost of $1,672.49. On 06/08/14 again stalled in traffic. Returned to dealer on same day. Dealer has no idea of what is causing problem.. Until the stalling problem is resolved i am reluctant to drive this vehicle due to the potential danger of stalling in heavy traffic. *tr

For investigation on the mercedes benz 2000 slk. Vehicle to mb dealership repeatedly since purchased new, for a problem with hard/full throttle acceleration. When fully depressing the accelerator, on occasion the car will backfire or hesitate, or almost stall until the accelerator is released. The problem appears to be directly related to the activation of the turbo-charger (kompressor). A check of the service records for the vin number reveals that the problem goes back to 10/25/04 when the o2 sensor was replaced. That same senor was replaced on 05/24/07. The problem was again reported to and diagnosed by a dealer hyannis ma on 06/21/07 during a trip to cape cod after it occurred on the interstate driving from va to cape cod. Upon return to va, the mass air flow sensor was replaced to correct the problem on 07/03/07. The same problem was again reported on 01/30/07 where it was corrected as an air intake hose problem. The problem was again reported and "corrected" on 11/09/07 .The problem was again reported and corrected by replacing the air mass sensor yet again! On 07/30/08. This time it had occurred in the interstate on ramp acceleration lane almost causing an accident due to unexpected lack of acceleration performance. The problem again occurred on 09/08/08 during full acceleration again. It should be noted here that i hold a master of science degree in safety, from the university of southern california. I am also very familiar with the nhsta safety defect reporting/investigation system and the data base related to safety recalls and tsbs. John b. Pratt maj (usa ret). *tr
