I have an E270cdi.
You seem to have some serious electrical issues and need to take the car to a dealer.
I have had 2 batteries. But really the probelms stem from the fact that the car has a number of modules/relays which fail and draw power - they are a continual drain. This flattens the battery and a flat battery on start up can give you the brake failure warnings etc.
I have just had 2 of the units on my car changed - one was associated with the interior light, the other under the drivers seat.
The ones under the seat have failed before.
You would get the warning "electrical malfuntion, electrical consumers switched off".
No problems with shocks after 45000m
Good luck !

The start up problem is not likely to the battery. When I ask the dealer how can this new car has this kind of problem.The answer is this kind of diesel engine car need to drive everyday other wise I have problem. Is this bull**** or what? I paid great deal of money to buy a LUXURY car. I think I have the right to drive when ever I want, don't I? Why should I drive this car everyday? Would you please give me some advice as well?
By the way, the mile clock is only close to 30000km. I have complaint the total brake failure to DCM. They agree to change the SBC for me. Before they change they did not tell me there is a problem with the shock absorber. They find out after they change the SBC, and they want me to pay the bill for the shock absorber now. Do you think this is reasonable?
Thank you for reply.!!

DCM want me to send the car back again and I did 1 month ago. But The situation is still the same, no problem found. I am not the only one who experience the total brake failure. My parents and I and even my father's secretory have the experience. Finally the DCM agree to change the SBC for me. When they try to do the test after they change, they tell me the shock absorber is not working properly and need to change. but since the warranty period is passed, I need to pay for it. .....

I am also seeking for car expert. Is the duration of shock absorber so short? The car is only 2.5 years old and the mileage is only 30000km.
