Mercedes-Benz has recalled its SLK sports model this week, due to a potential problem with the battery system.

The carmaker has identified a problem with power supply to the ignition switch, which could be interrupted.

Should the vehicle’s main battery fail, the backup battery will not supply energy to the ignition switch. This could render both the electric selector for the automatic transmission and the electronic park brake inoperable. Read More

A man by the name of Oscar Sanchez apparently figured he’d never get hunted down for skipping out on paying the toll road fees through New Jersey and New York, but it finally all caught up to him. He now owes $12,000 in tolls and his Mercedes Benz was impounded. He’s been charged with a number of crimes, too, including driving on a suspended license, service theft and missing a front license plate.

The impounded car might be good news for you, though, as it might go up for auction cheap somewhat soon. If so, you might want to fix it up and maybe get some new rims for it. If so, click here to check out our rims selection.

Authorities say a New Jersey man who owes $12,000 in unpaid EZ Pass tolls has had his black Mercedes Benz impounded and is facing charges.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Joe Pentangelo said Wednesday that Oscar Sanchez, of Jersey City, was pulled over by agency police on Tuesday because the car didn’t have a front license plate.

Pentangelo says the officer discovered Sanchez had an expired driver’s license and more than 200 counts of missed EZ Pass toll payments amounting to about $12,000. Read More

Due to the whole fiasco surrounding Volkswagen and their diesel engine emissions lies, the Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler has begun an investigation. They are looking to find whether or not their certification processes are correct, which should help to keep the car manufacturer out of trouble regarding Mercedes-Benz engines, even if this news made the company’s stock value drop.

The same day that Volkswagen AG reported that the diesel emissions scandal that has cost it $18.2 billion so far, Mercedes Benz parent company Daimler said today that it is launching an internal investigation into the emissions certification process for its diesel vehicles. That news, plus a shortfall on first quarter earnings expectations, sent shares 5.5% lower.

Daimler said the diesel probe stems from communications it has had with the U.S. Dept. of Justice. This action also follows the filing of a lawsuit by a U.S.-based Mercedes vehicle owner charging the German automaker with allegedly using a device to affect its emissions tests.

The suit, filed by Seattle, Washington-based law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shaprio, LLP, says the action is based, in part, on an article published in German magazine Der Spiegel, which claims that Mercedes admitted to designing the diesel-powered vehicles to shut off emissions controls in cooler ambient temperatures to protect the engine.
