Consumer Description
WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC (I94 IN MICHIGAN) I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN SPEED TO MERGE ONLY TO FIND THAT THE ENGINE LACKED ANY POWER, THE RPMS ROSE SLOWLY BUT THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION. I WAS TOLD (BY MERCEDES DEALER) THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IN THIS CASE IT ALMOST CAUSED MY DEATH. IF THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WHY ARE OUR LIVES BEING PUT AT RISK BECAUSE OF A POORLY DESIGNED PART?
