had to return the cLS, so sad. Story inside

So on my way to Carmax to put some $ down on the CLS, the car starts shaking at a traffic light.. then it stalls on me at the next traffic light. The car acts jerky and shakes at stoplights... also feels like a loss of power.. so i returned it to Carmax (they have an awesome return policy)

Anyone ever experience this before? It was a 06 CLS

I had a problem like that with my CLK55 when it was brand new. It took about 6 visits to the dealership before it magically fixed itself. It was lots of fun though, as I approached each traffic light I had to shift it into neutral and start reving with one foot as I brake with the other foot to keep it from stalling.

A similar thing happened to my '06 after a trip to the dealer to replace a faulty headlight unit... Turned out it was a bad battery.

The service dept. was shocked and treated me super well following the limp back to the dealer.
