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.
