R350-2007, ABS ESP Inoperative after stop and go traffic
Greetings all... My R350 2007 has had an issue for two months with the same symptoms in the same condition(s).
Drive for about 20min to 45min and then get into a stop and go traffic (like a long lineup at a slow red light or a fast food takeout window). While stopped ("Please pull ahead we'll bring your order to you") and waiting the vehicle display reads "ABS ESP Inoperative", "Take to workshop without changing gears". Getting out of the car locking and unlocking to\he doors does not reset the system, the car normally will not restart (turn key and nothing). Wait 20min to 30min and the car then restarts. It has also not restarted after stopping and running into a store for milk and then try to restart.
If you drive the car with the "ESP ABS inoperative" you get the feature of the speedometer not working and a random wiper action.
It's at the dealer...

UPDATE: Dealer checked for stored codes and the only issue was a CAN communication activity. No fault codes. Dealer suspects the CAN network is failing but wants to see the failure and try to identify the culprit.
