w209 Died on the Road Yesterday
Driving in NJ yesterday and using the shifter to go from 2nd to 3rd and at 5000 rpm the car cuts out - no throttle and the ESP letters come up on my display screen where my speed would normally be.
I get to the side of the road and shut the car off. When I try to restart the car, it starts fine, no more ESP in the display but now the check engine light is on.
I had a flatbed pick it up and brought to the dealer.
Pit in my stomach......I am out of warranty.
I wonder what the hell happened.....
I will know more tomorrow when it gets diagnosed.
