Cool 2002 MB ML320 Engine shuts off while driving

I recently purchased a 2002 MB ML320 from a friend. Now have driven the Suv for about 1000 miles trying to determine what may be the problem with the vehicle. It has driven fine up until a couple of days ago when I noticed that immediately after hitting a pot hole that the engine shut off. The dash went dark, but the radio continued to play and the lights remained but I did not loose control of the vehicle. Has anyone else experience this situation? I have a used MB mechanic that I use. I will see if he can discover the source of the engine cutting of while driving. Thanks.

On the surface it sounds like something isn't connected tight. Check the battery terminals?

And welcome to MBWorld. Hopefully it's something that simple.

What does this have to do with the poster's subject title?
A: Nothing.
