2005 E-500 No Start

JUST RETURNED HOME AFTER GETTING MY 2005 E-500 4-MATI WAGON TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR THE 2ND TIME WITHIN A MONTH FOR A NO START CONDITION. LAST TIME IT WAS A CRANK SENSOR. NOW IT ACTED THE SAME WAY. I'M BEGINNING TO LOSE FAITH IN THE WHIZ KIDS USING THEIR STAR MAGIC TEST DEVICES. SEVEN (7) TRIPS BACK TO THE DEALER FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 7,000 MILES SEEMS A BIT EXCESSIVE. ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION ABOUT THE TIME THEY LEFT A SHOP CLOTH IN THE AIR CLEANER. I ONLY FOUND THAT WHEN I REMOVED THE AIR CLEANER TO DETERMINE IF IT HAD ONE OR TWO ELEMENTS AND LOW AND BEHOLD THERE WAS THE SHOP RAG!

I had the same problem as you when I first got my E class. It was crankshaft sensor malfunction after 5 days of owning the car, then a week later my car failed to start and found out that the sensor they replaced was a defect. after 3 times to the dealer its fix and that problem never surfaced.
