e320king, During this past winter my system had the same problem. My system was fine after I warmed the car first and drove it. Once I turned it off for a minute and started it back up without warning it would shut off when I got on the road. I took it to the dealership and they replaced it without any hesitation.

My 1999 E320 had had similar issue two or three times in last year. Try removing and checking in trunk CD changer to make sure CDs are loaded properly, etc. Sometimes hitting a jarring bump in road will cause this miscue. I tried CD cleaner disc just to see if that helped.
Usually works after you put cartridge back in and close unit up properly.

Thanks for the advice on the Starmark warranty and Yokohama tires information.
The second window regulator failed two weeks after the warranty limit expired.

E 430 4-matic issue by mario19

hello guys, i Have been through all this pages, and the more I read the more confused I get. Just bought a E 430 a week ago, and I am so upset. Yesterday the car shut off while I was on a red light, without a warning or nothing. I tried to start it I couldn't, than after some time the car did start, but I had the "Check engine" on. I noticed a bit of vibrating on the car, while on "P" gear. The next morning the car started normally, but the RPM while the car is on "P" gear, is very high, 10-15 Rpm. I have no clue wat this is, the car has 41k miles on it. Not sure if its a battery problem, or a alternator problem. Anyone had the same issue with a E-Class?

To begin with there is no P gear. P is Park...no gears involved. Next--- it is normal for a higher RPM when the car is started cold. This is to get the car warm so that emmissions will be lower. Car should return to normal low RPM within a minute or so after starting.

i have a 98 e320 with 52,000 miles on it i have experienced at times when i hit the break ( not necesarily hard ) when i m going anywhere from very slow 10 miles and hour to sometimes slowing down coming up to a traffic light 30 miles and hour or so ) the car lurching foward very quickly has the sensation of slamming the breaks and maybe the abs locking up it happened about a year ago more than once so i got it looked at and the mb dealer said it had something to do with the rear tranny memory to the anti lock breaks something like that they fixed it several hundred $$ later .. a few months after that it happened again i brought it back and they couldn't find anything wrong with it didn't happen when they tested it again this happens very infrequently and it it not when i am necessarily going fast or on slippery pavement any thoughts ? pete

Mercedes vs. Prestone Anti Freeze by jodar96

I just changed the anti freeze in my 2001 E430 with 90K miles. The MB coolant has such a faint pink color to it, it is hard to see in the expansion tank where the level is.
 
Does any one really think that the engine/gaskets will be damaged if the system is completely is flushed out of MB coolant, and latest version of Prestone coolant is used?
 
I have a very tough time believing that every car maker out there must have their own coolant. The cost difference is like $12 a gallon. The money is not the issue, I don't care for the MB's clear color.

I have owned three MB vehicles over the years and I was informed never to use the regular antifreeze as it doesn't meet MB specs and contain the necessary anti-corrosives and
ph neutrality that MB coolant does......Is this true? I have no idea, but I don't care to take the risk! Good luck!
