My 2012 did that once about a month after I bought it. Stuck in comfort but the AMG button still worked. So I could go to sport+ at least. A couple hours later it was working.

The knob/rotary switch could be starting to crap out. This happened on my previous E with the Comand knob. Same symptoms (intermittent operation) then another week total failure. Covered under warranty.
