SRS and ABS Malfunction

I have a 2008 Mercedes c300, well last night I had gone to dinner and when I returned back to my car to start it, it seems like it started - the lights were on. Well it didn't start, so I did it again, this this the SRS malfunction message came up. Then I tried it again, the ABS message appeared. As I'm trying to restart the car, it seems like it's going to start, but then it'll black out. Could this be my batteries? Please help me because my warranty was out in December 2011 and now I'm having this problem!

ugh oh sounds like the same problem Im going through right now... get to the dealer and tell them to check your intake manifold before your out of warranty. I had no idea there was an issue with the manifolds on the w204 08-11 but apparently there is. my mechanic sent me a confidential report sent to all MB dealers from MB in the UK explaining the malfunctions.

Thanks, well I'm out of warranty now. Just my luck! Still waiting on what my mechanic find, but I will bring up the manifold issue.
