Description of the problem	My first incidence was driving and the steering would all of a sudden get stiff like it needed power steering fluid or something. Check it wasn't the fluid (this happened a few month ago i thought hmmm probably just something freaky) then 1/8/16 riding down the busy interstate highway the car acceleration just left. I pressed the accelerator to the floor but no speed. It was extremely scary. I had the car checked out... It's the classic problem i never heard of until today. ( intake manifold tumble flap) some plastic junk on an expensive car. If i wanted a junk car i would've went to the "junk yard" paid like 250. And be done with it. I'm very disappointed and angry. I'm glad my kids wasn't in the car and it wasn't a horrific outcome. Now i can't do anything with the car right now because it's expensive to repair for such a cheap piece that shouldn't have never been on it and because #1 i'm on a fixed income #2 i still have to pay for it. But what does mb care about that.... Its just a product to them, a money maker.
