2004 Mercedes benz CLS500 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1017016
Internal NHTSA #	10548066
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	CLS500
Model Year	2004
File date	02/10/09
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	From a stopped position there is delay when the accelerator pedal is pressed before the engine actually begins to accelerate. The delay is approximately 2 seconds and presents serious danger when attempting to pull into approaching traffic. I have had a few close calls where i was almost hit by another vehicle because of the significant hesitation with the acceleration. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer a few times, but they said they could not find any problem and no error faults had been logged in the vehicles computer. The problem was intermittent initially but is not consistently occurring. I believe this is a serious safety issue and suspect my case is not unique.
