Hi all,
My five month old Metris, we are experiencing "no throttle" while driving, it happens about a dozen of time now, and a few dangerous moment on the highway - imagine you lost the power when all cars speeding behind you, and you have full van of kids!
There are still power steering and brakes luckily and the engine seem to be still running. But the throttle is like cut off with no response to my pedal suddenly.
After we pull over to a safe location, the transmission is locked, we cannot shift it to neutral, reverse and drive, nor park. We have to restart the car to regain the function.
So my question is, any body have this issue? My car has 15000 km or 9000 miles.
I'm feeling unsure... My last dozen of new Mercedes are all plague with problems, some unfix-able because they couldn't pull up any code... They heard and saw the problems, but no code for them to fix anything. Same as this time... they couldn't pull up any code, so with their corporate saying - its just my imagination again because when they test drive it, they couldn't experience the problem too.
In fact my previous Sprinter was an example where they couldn't fix the problem and I had to trade it in because its no longer safe to drive out (extreme lag in boost / picking up speed to highway...etc). Its not just another lemon because I had six of them and they consistently fails around 100k miles where the extended warranty ends.
I never went to dealers so much for problems with other manufacturer ?
No... We drive very maturely and on the slow side, we pampered our cars...
So WTF MERCEDES BENZ. :frown:
