What owners wrote

On this day, I was nearly killed in my 2014 mercedes cla250 4matic that stalled on a highway in new york city. The car has roughly 40,300 miles on the odometer. I was driving on the brooklyn queens expressway at 4:00am. The car's motor stalled and the car came to a stop in the left lane. There were no shoulders. I attempted to get the car restarted but all I got were flashing dashboard lights.

Reported at 40,300 miles, July 2020 CrashInjury

Pulling out into a busy two lane highway the3 car went into "pre-safe mode." the car stopped accelerating leaving me stranded in front of oncoming traffic. The drive of the other car thankfully was paying attention and hit his brakes. This could have been a very painful incident. Took the vehicle in for service only to find out that mercedes has no answer to why it is happening. Only a matter of time until a cla 250 owner gets killed.
