My car is dying.

alright so i got back from vacation, and the first day it was able to start up, then i was fiddling around listening to music while driving. then all of a sudden my sound just cut off and that was it... no sound til now. alright so then i tried starting it 3 days later (today), and it had a hard time starting. then going to the gas station was a nightmare, it wouldnt accelerate and it was idling really roughly. ahhh i know its time for a tune up but none of this has ever happened before! my car is dying

odd that the sound would cut out like that. try disconnecting the battery for a minute or two to reset the system. could be a lot of things but i doubt its mechanical.

yes, the electronic gadgets that benz incorporates into their cars are a double-edged sword as you probably can guess. they are "high-tech" and "cool" but there are more things to break if they are there. the smart key is a good example. first time i saw the key, i was in awe. i thought it was really cool how the key is sucked in by the ignition and how it had the cool feel when you turn the key. now i wish they just kept the ol' reliable key in use.

Maybe you should check for frayed/broken wires. It could be misfiring but I doubt that. Drive the CLK 55!
