Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2008 mercedes benz c300, on 8/16/2009, upon stating the car engine started to race so fast reached 7000 rpm within less than 5 seconds. I turned the engine off waited 2,to 3 minutes i started the engine again same thing happened . I waited 4 to 5 minutes started the engine every thing back to normal. Dealer checked the computer hard disk and could not find that incident. Knowing if power surge or computer glitch happens will not be recorded by the same computer.. Same thing happened before when i had 4000 miles.. If similar happens in the freeway will be death for more than the driver. This is a safety problem.
