Consumer Description

THROTTLE CONTROL FAILURE CAUSING EXACTLY A 20 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE CAR WOULD ACTUALLY ACCELERATE AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAUSED ME TO BE IN NEARLY 3 ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT MOVE WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, CARS WERE COMING, BUT I COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD, UNTIL AFTER THE 20 SECOND ACCELERATION DELAY. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR INTO PARKPLACE MERCEDES, THE INVOICE SHOWED THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY IGNITION SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. *LA
