Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY S550 AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT. I STOPPED AT THE LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THERE WAS TO RESPONSE TO PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR RPMS WERE INCREASING BUT THE VEHICLE WAS CRAWLING AT LESS THAN 5MPH. THIS LED TO ME PULLING OVER AND PARKING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING IT OFF. I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND IT BEGAN TO WORK NORMALLY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND THE CAR WAS REVVING BUT TRAVELING LESS THAN 5 MPH WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAVING TO STOP SHORT TO PREVENT CRASHING INTO ME WHILE I WAS MAKING THE LEFT TURN. THIS WAS AGAIN RESOLVED WITH ME PARKING THE VEHICLE, TURNING IT OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED OUT OF NO WHERE I DECIDED ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
