I wouldn't rag on this guy. Complete vehicle failure in the middle of a busy highway is not fun for anyone using any kind of vehicle type.

I have read many reports of vehicles failing, but one more close to home was related to my old 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML-350. Forum member got one and a week later it died on the highway while at highway speed. In his case, he could not move the car...

The Mercedes ML-350 uses a new 7 speed automatic transmission with electronic level gear selector.

The point is, new technology maybe tested for years before it comes to market, but some are not. The first Hybrid cars on the market were little two seater cars, then it moved up to a little larger four door to the point now they are being put into anything without real testing being done. (through testing).

It doesn't matter who makes the car, they all have issues here and there. Hybrids are not miracle cars, they are just cars....

I would like to know what happened to this guy's car though.
