Car just stopped running
My two week old 2020 C43 AMG just stopped running today. I'd just left my house, gone maybe two blocks when it lost power. No throttle response and I coasted to the side of the road, where I put it in park and it started as usual. I continued on with no more issues, returning two hours later again as normal. This behavior doesn't inspire confidence I must say. Any ideas?

Full electronics loss too? Did the engine stall?
need more info to try to help |
Sorry, yeah the engine died. At first I didn't think it had because the tach was still showing revs, but it was juspooling down. I'm wondering if it was a glitch in the auto start/stop?

U read any codes?

I haven't had a chance to pull out the Launch to check for codes yet, will try to do it today or tomorrow. Reading the related posts from a few years back there seem to be a few cars that have had this problem, most seem to be cured with a software update and a new battery. Since mine is a 2020, produced in Dec. 2019, the battery now four years old if it hasn't been changed out, and I have found nothing in the records to indicate it has. I'll see what the codes say first but a new battery might be the fix required. I'll also start driving in sport + all the time. I try to always disable the start/stop feature when I crank the car but sometimes forget. ,
