Vehicle has stopped on the highway twice. Once he had it towed to the dealer and was told that it was a grounding problem. The second time he had it towed, he was told that they could not find any problem. Then he begun to have problems opening the vehicle with the key, then once the vehicle was open then it would not enter the ignition to start the auto. He thinks this car is a lemon. Vehicle is a Mercedes C20, 2001.
