Damn car stalled in the middle of the road.

2005 E55 stalled in the middle of the road, I lost power steering, brakes are working right. It took me 4 minutes to start the car again, they car keys won't even turn in the ignition.

The Command System shuts down by itself sometimes.

Are these symptoms normal in the E55? If yes, I'm gonna sell it off.

Your inputs are well appreciated.

I've heard one of the causes is because of a battery which is not supplying enough voltage to the car. Get your dealer to check the output of the battery and make sure it is healthy.

The other cause I have heard is a faulty keyless-go system. Do you have this in the car?

UrbanC,
It happened to me as well last month too. Gotta take the car to get it checked, I keep have flashback about this hoping it won't happen again.
