| Description of the problem | Acceleration/brake issue. On 09/0517 i pulled into my parking lot apartment complex and upon pulling into my parking spot, i attempted to back my 2010 mercedes 2010 glk350 to align my car. I put the vehicle in reverse, but suddenly the vehicle accelerated backwards and crashed into a parked vehicle. I attempted to apply the brakes, but the vehicle did not stop. Before the accident occurred on my dashboard it displayed "check brake pads". I purchase this car on 08/16/17 and was informed that the vehicle has (2) safety recalls for 'takata" airbags. This unintended acceleration in my 2010 mercedes-benz glk350 is alarming and concerning. |
