Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE RPM'S RAN WAY UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TRIED PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE AND NOTHING. I PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MIN. THEN BACK ON. THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND I HAD ALL THE NECESSARY SERVICE DONE ON THE CAR AT THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS INCREASINGLY FOR THE LAST YEAR AND IT IS NOW BECOMING A HAZARD. THE CAR HAS STARTED JUMPING WHEN PUT IN DRIVE AND IT IS ALARMING. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I FEEL MERCEDES SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL. I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT ANYMORE AND MY CHILDREN DON'T EITHER. *TR
