car shut off in ECO mode
Anyone have this happen? In ECO mode; was gliding through an intersection and the engine shut off as it normally does at a full stop. Put my foot on the accelerator and "dead". Had to pull over and restart the car & it was fine. Should I just consider this a computer glitch?

Happened to me once - never happened again. Didn't set a code or anything, so I left it alone and didn't mention it to dealer.

Point of "information" - in my experience - I term "ECO" mode "Auto Bahn Mode" as is adjusts engine/tranny/steering-ratio to offer driver "convenience" at 08mph+.
Whatever is listed in the Manual about ECO mode is "kindof wrong" - at least that's what's the MB German's use it for when we are scooting around between factories..

Definitely could have been a safety issue. It's like the engine just died after it started; everything else remained on. No errors on dash; nothing. Just spoke to dealer and there are no bulletins. I'm just going to keep a watch on it.

YES!!!. My CLA has done it about 8 times. Mercedes said it need a computer update in which it was done, pulled out of service dept on main rd and it did the same thing..car completely shuts down and need to be restarted. I am back at service now ( we will see how this goes)

So I found out that mercedes put a new auxiliary battery. They said they were going to do a software update but my service advisor did not see that an update was done in the computer..I have drove it and looks like that was the problem. My advisor said if it happens again it may be the car battery, and will need a new car battery
