Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER IF A 2000 MERCEDES ML320. THIS MORNING AS I CAME HOME ON THIS CAR AND SUDDENLY IT SPED UP AND LOST CONTROL WHEN IT CAME TO THE DRIVEWAY. I LEG WAS ON THE BRAKE WHEN I CAME TO THE DRIVEWAY NO WAY I COULD HAVE PUT MY LEG ON THE ACCELERATOR. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN ITS DESIGN AND CAUSE IT TO SUDDENLY SPEED UP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SINCE IT CAN BE A SERIOUS MATTER. MY OTHER 2 CARS IN THE GARAGE WERE BADLY DAMAGED IN ADDITION TO THE THIS ML320.*TR
