Problems in Sport Mode
Hey guys I was hoping you would be able to help me out. I own a SLK350. A few days ago, I was in sport mode and I was going around a corner and all of a sudden the power steering went and I slammed on the brake and almost hit the side of the road. Then, I went on the ramp to a highway and the same thing happened. In addition to the steering going, so did the brakes and accelerator. It seems like it could have stalled, but I don't understand why because I wasn't switching gears, I just had it in drive. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot!
