Once coming out of a light, and twice on i-95 both times trying to switch lanes to get out of on coming traffic, and on both occasions the vehicle did not respond to the gas pedal. One of the incidents occurred with cruise control engaged. We were lucky were not killed by the semi tractor trailers. Am a retire air force firefighter and i have seen some horrible stuff on the highways, thank god it was not meant to be those days. I contacted mercedes-benz usa hq.
