Answer
Taris,
This sounds like an electrical problem.  Have your battery checked at a service center where they can place it under a load. Also have the charging circuit checked. Clean the post and the terminals with a brush. Leave disconnected.
Turn off all accessories and the radio and mechanically lock the vehicle doors.
Replace the battery in your electric key fob if you have a fob. Reinstall the battery terminals (+) first then (-),  Then synchronize the key with the vehicle.

There are several similar problems discussed here. www.benzworld.org/forums.
Good Luck
