My Car won't start...
Hi Board!
I have a question for you... I was driving on the highway and I hit a huge pothole, my car immediately said ESP on the dash and to visit workshop, then it flashed BAS and the same thing. As I pull into a parking lot it flashes low battery and turns off. The next day I go to start it and it won't start. I get a jump and it dies but the ESP, BAS, and dashboard flickers while it's on. I have MB assistants come out and put a new battery in, and it ran fine for about 2 hours, but it is back dead again. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I want to have some idea before I take it into the dealer, and they charge me all that money.
Thanks
Daphne
