| Description of the problem | 2006 mercedes c230, loss of power and acceleration. First time it happened when the mileage was 62k. I was driving on shennandoah valley then suddenly the acceleration and engine power keep decreasing though my foot was completely pressing on gas pedal. I decided to full-over to cool down the engine. After re-starting it, the problem went away for awhile and back to normal driving condition. Then it happened again when my car had 65k miles, i experienced the same problem but this time from a complete stop from traffic light, when i tried to accelerates.. The car was no acceleration at all though the pedal was completely to the metal. This will be a very bad situation when all of a sudden it will not accelerate to normal running condition, when i needed to enter the highway to merge to a fast moving traffic. |
