Engine Light Came On

I just bought a 2011 S63 AMG with 40,000 miles. Had it for a week and as I was driving on the highway on cruise control at 75 and all of a sudden the engine light comes on and the nothing seemed to work.

I pull over shut the car off and fired up after 5 mins and driving about 2 miles same thing happens again.

Of course I took it back to the dealer and they will look at it on Tuesday.

Has this happened to anyone and if so what was it.

This is the W222 forum of the S63/65. Your car is a W221 S63 and you'll be able to get better insight posting in the 221 forum. However, if I had to guess I'd say that the light came on because of normal maintenance that the car probably still needs?
