| Description of the problem | On 8/26/14 i was stopped at a light. When i went to take-off, the car would not accelerate. It finally did but very slowly. This occurred two more time at the next two stop lights. I was then in a center turn lane to turn across three lanes of traffic & when i tried to accelerate, the car died and the electronic display gave a yellow error message that the car was inoperable due to an issue with the braking system. I immediately put the car in park, turned it off & then started it back up. Fortunately it re-started, the error message was gone & i was able to drive into my office parking lot. My mercedes service dept. Said no codes registered on the computer, probably because i turned the car off so quickly it didn't have time to. Today, 8/17/14, i am having the same issue. My car is back at the mercedes service department. This is, in my opinion, a dangerous & life threatening problem. |
