I was so excited when I bought my 2001 C240, same car larger engine. I paid good hard earned money for it. I could have bought 56 Nash Rambler and had less trouble.

Even if you don't have any electrical gremlins, if one of the tires wear a little more than the others, the traction control starts taking over and will wear out the brakes in nothing flat.

The electronic wizardry in these cars was not fully developed.

I ended up getting rid of it and taking a substantial loss.

I hope you can have better luck,
