Description of the problem	On 12/22/12 at approximately 9pm i was parking my car having arrived at my destination. I had almost finished parking when my mercedes benz c300, 2010 lunched forward without warning and hit the truck in front of me resulting in a chain rection. With that truck smashing into the vehicle infront of it. I honestly believe that the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own and therefore must have malfunctioned. I went searching and found similar complaints from a couple of other owners of benz c300 2010 model. I called mercedes benz usa and reported and was told that i need to take the car in and pay for it to be diagnosed. They insisted that they have not heard of any similar complaint. I am concerned that this may happen again.
