Description of the problem	I was entering the ontario south bound on ramp to the i 15 freeway , in my 2010 c300 mercedes benz, when the engine surged to 6000 rpms and i let up on the gas, coasted, and when i applied the accelerator, it surged again. This happened 3 times, and each time i coasted until i could get off the freeway at the next off ramp. I then applied normal pressure to continue and the car proceeded in a normal manner, so i drove to a shopping center and started to pull into a parking space when the engine accelerated again to 6000rpms, and i flew over a planter area, removing my foot from the accelerator and missing a tree and a pole. I came to a stop by making a hard left turn and braking so i wouldn't hit the wall of the building. There was damage to my tires and wheels and the dealer, after having the car in the shop for over a week, says there is nothing wrong with it. This vehicle has 5700 miles on it, and is under warranty, but the company would not honor warranty by saying they couldn't find anything wrong. My insurance had to pay for damage caused by the unintended acceleration of this vehicle. I am now afraid to drive this car, because i have fear this will reoccur, and someone may be seriously hurt.
