Car wouldn't start, and when it did, pretty much everything didn't work
Kind of getting tired of the crap with this car. It has been to the dealership more times in 6 months than my previous 4 cars combined over a 20 year period.
Was leaving the beach to head back home in a 130 mile journey. Stopped after 20 miles, and when I tried to start the car, pretty much every light in the dash flashed, and the car wouldn't start. Shut it down, tried to lock, and it wouldn't. Let it sit, and when I got back in, it started. But it threw a ton of errors.
I was worried about it not starting again if I shut it down again, so I drove the rest of the way home with most of the safety systems off. And of course, as soon as I got home, shut it down, and it restarted normally like nothing happened.

I'm sure that's frustrating. Hopefully you're near another dealer to give them a try to fix it. Not too early to involve MBUSA, thought they're pretty unlikely to help much, they can act as a liaison so you spend less time feuding on the phone for warranty fixes.
