Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A NEW NEW NEW MERCEDES CLA-250C AUTOMOBILE LATE SEPTEMBER 2013. IN MID-OCTOBER I EXPERIENCED UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION TO ABOVE 5500 RPM. THIS CEASED JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO APPLY BRAKING. THE CAR THEN BEHAVED NORMALLY. *TR ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT I EXPERIENCED UN-COMMANDED BRAKING WHENEVER I BACKED OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE FORCE OF BRAKING BEING PROPORTIONAL TO THE DEGREE OF LIFT-OFF FROM THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. AT THAT POINT I GROUNDED THE CAR. ON JANUARY 7, 2014 I INFORMED MERCEDES-BENZ ABOUT THE ABOVE. I AM PREPARED TO PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE ABOVE EVENTS AND MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH MERCEDES-BENZ USA SHOULD YOU DESIRE. *TR
