NHTSA Complaint #11230749 — 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C250

I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GETTING READY TO PASS A BIG RIG. ABOUT 2 SECONDS AFTER I EXCELERATED I NOTICED THAT I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL HOPING TO REGAIN POWER TO PASS THE BIG RIG. I HAD NO SUCH LUCK. SHORTLY AFTER I HAD VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAVING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T EXCELERATE TO THE DESIRED SPEED. I FINALLY MADE MY WAY OUT OF THE HIGHWAY TO CHECK MY ENGINE. I COULDN'T SEE A PROBLEM BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE LOSS OF POWER CONTINUED. I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME SLOW. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NORMAL. THE LOSS OF POWER IN THAT SITUATION WAS SCARY AND COULD HAVE GONE A LOT WORSE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN BLOGS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS WHO DESCRIBE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. PLEASE HELP FIND A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT DO TO THIS PROBLEM.
