Electronic problems

Has anyone had electronic problems - car starts sometime - then it doesnt. Instruments suddenly go dead - then they start to work. Almost like my car has a computer virus. Its dead in my driveway today - but will probably work fine when the flatbed come tommorrow.

Bad Battery? Bad wires? Control module? DME/ECU? Engine ground?

I am guessing its a C63, Correct?

I am sorry to hear that! Good luck with the fix...

exactly

probably one of those - but it kills confidence in a brand new car.

One week & they cant figure out whats wrong. Apparently changing a different electronic piece each step of the the way. I have lost trust in a 6 week old 70 thousand dollar car. This will be my first and last Mercedes. Anyone know if MB reads this forum?
