| I excelerated to enter interstate #81 and the throttle pedal retracted from foot and pressed to floor. felt as if cruise control had engaged but it had not been. i tapped break pedal repeadly and vehicle would not stop. if it was in cruise control this should have disengaged it. thethrottle was fully floored and car was racing down interstate #81 with four passengers out of control. i applied break pedal with full force for about two to three minutes and vehicle finally began slowing down and i pulled car to shoulder of interstate. the engine continued to reeve until i turned off the engine. horrible experience to have a stuck throttle. the dealer finds nothing wrong with it. i cannot and will not drive it again until they find the problem or give me a different model. they have referred me to mercedes. i await their decision, however i have been told it doesn't look favorable. i dont want my money back just a safe car to drive as i do not have confidence in this one. there is a problem with the throttle, they just can't find it and i won't risk my life driving it again. i have no idea how fast the vehicle was going as i was very focused in watching the cars i was going to crash into if i hadn't been able to stop it. this is my third mercedes but never again as they are not being helpful in the least. worst experiance of my life! | |||
