Tl* the contact owned a 2017 mercedes-benz c300c. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, they were informed that their vehicle was on fire. The vehicle's console had caught on fire. The contact stated the fire department had put out the fire. The vehicle was deemed totaled due to the entire inside being completely burned. There were no injuries. A report was filed by the fire department stating that the fire was caused by electrical failures.
When the car is in the a feature, where it turns on and off when not in motion, it gets stuck in that mode as if a magnet is holding it in that position. It will not move, it stalls. I turn it off and turn it back on and sometimes it still will not move, sometimes, it will not turn back on. This has happened on several different occasions. Once, I pulled to the side of my mailbox to pick up mail, and another occasion I pulled into my garage, and it stopped, and would not turn on.
