| Description of the problem | We, my wife and 3 son's were coming down from big bear when it started snowing. Snow got heavy and i was approaching a sharp curve slowed down to about 8miles made the turn nd slowly pressed on the gas peddle, the rpms went up but the car did not accelerate. I had to stop put the car in park then turn it of, turn it back on, put it in gear and accelerate slowly. As i looked in the side mirrors, i noticed cars skidding sideways and some hitting the side of the mountain, there was a large 4 wheel drive in back of me so it hid the make of my car and license plate. This has also happened on the freeway when i have to come to a complete stop, then the car will not move but the rpms rev up. Also in the mornings when i go to work the car down shifts extremely hard, seems the transmission is going to break along with my collarbone. Please something has to be done about this mercedes benz has now about the defects please before people die. |
