This has happened once before and I reported it then. This time I was stopped at a stop light and when I pressed the accelerator to go when the light turned green, the engine was off and would not go. The screen only said "malfunction" and no error codes (as before). I pressed the start button to turn the car off and then restarted it. It was fine after that. I have left a message with my service agent at my Mercedes dealership. I had previously told them that this had happened before. I am concerned about the safety of a car the stalls like this. Please investigate. I see other reports about this from E class car owners on line in various forums.

On Three (3) occasions, my engine has Stopped while the car was in gear and in motion. I was at great risk when this happened twice on August 7, 2024 while in traffic and my car stopped in the middle of traffic. One time I was able to coast into a parking lot. However, the second time the car stopped in the traffic lane. I was very lucky not to have been hit in the rear. In each case, I was able to restart the engine. One time I received a "Malfunction" notice on the dashboard. I immediately took the car to a Mercedes dealer for evaluation on August 8, 2024.. Dealer found Diagnostic Code P060C00 and did a "Standstll Adaption". On September 29, 2024, the engine once again stopped running while the car was in Reverse gear (Third Time) and I was backing out of a parking space. No malfunction notice appeared on the dash. I have an appointment on September 3, 2024, with the Mercedes dealer to leave the car. In all three case there has been No warning that there was a problem. The engine simply sputters and stopped. Only one "Malfunction" has appeared after the engine has stopped. The question on "speed" was not answered as I was in Stop and Go traffic on the first two times the engine stopped.

I had just left home and was about two blocks from my house when the engine stopped running and the word “malfunction” appeared on the display. It would not restart until I hit the off button and then I restarted it. Definite safety issue if I had been on the freeway or a busy street.
