My stomach is turning again. One day before leaving on vacation and pulling my small boat, the Check engine light starts flashing and the ^&*(*&^%$@#$#@ Mercedes goes to limp mode. Ive replaced the plugs 4 times 3 MASS, CPS, Checked Wires, Cleaned injectors, -

I wouldnt care so much if I had a little miss and could drive it safe to my destination, but the stinking Limp Mode makes it run like crap, holds up traffic, fouls the spark plugs and is dangerous.

I have even put the ML320 in neutral on the fly and restarted it to get it out of limp mode to keep up with traffic. ( restarts take it off limp mode until the computer decides to reinstall Limp mode ).

This is my 1st and last Mercedes. For safety reasons the "Limp Mode" should be eliminated.
