| Description of the problem | I was driving my car around 30mph coming to a slow down to make a right hand turn. Made turn and proceeded up a steep hill and my car simply stop pulling/accelerating. This has happened several times. I went out of town to tx for christmas and had the same thing happen. I can't understand why so many complaints and no one has yet to even investigate the problem. The maintenance on these vehicles is expensive. On top of the mb is familiar with this issue and should not be putting this expense off on the owners due to faulty default product that can not even be rebuilt but requires replacing the faulty part with another faulty part. Something needs to be done about this. |
