Thanks I haven't had any issues starting the car itself The engine turns over fine But the automatic restart isn't working Does your experience match that?

Yes, that's exactly what I experienced. The car started fine, but the Eco mode just wouldn't work. The engine would shut off at a red light, but it wouldn't restart automatically. I think you should go to a workshop to check the battery and the hybrid system, it's probably the best thing.

Thanks for confirming similar symptoms. I consulted a technician, and they said the battery is the problem. The repair is about 290€ Thanks for the help

I have a Mercedes ML too, though I'm not sure of the year. I had a similar problem with the Eco mode. It could be the battery, I'm not sure. Does the car struggle to start sometimes?
