2014 Mercedes-Benz C250 Fuel system Problems

“My vehicle losses power and car moved into (limp mode) during the acceleration process for passing, merging onto freeway, coming out of a corner and accelerating. Upon dealer diagnosis p0002 comes up as hpfp as the cause, and I was notified as this being a common issue with the 1.8l motor in my vehicle. Along with timing chain, and tensioner. I was told these issues while driving are directly related to causes accidents.”

“I had been driving on the freeway, got off onto a side road and when approaching a stop light while braking: my car completely died (while in drive). The motor shut off, the electrical dash system lights all went off and the hazard triangle system came on (with the symbol of an exclamation mark(!) inside the triangle). After about a minute and a half, I put it in park, and it restarted. Scary! I had a full tank of gas.”

“Leased our mercedes and shortly afterwards we started experiencing hesitation, lagging and even stalling of the vehicle as we tried to accelerate. Twice the vehicle has stalled as we pulled into traffic, narrowly escaping possible injury and damaging several cars. Hesitation has occurred without warning, (pressing on accelerator and the engine does not respond by evidence of no RPM increase). Again, this has occured numerous times. We have had the vehicle back to mercedes four times, for a total of 39 days!!!! …”

“I was driving on the highway my car sort of hesitated for a brief second then continued on as if nothing about one mile later my car began to slow down while I was in traffic so asap I pulled over at this point I could only go about 40 miles per hour which was very terrifying at that time it came a complete stop. After restarting the car 3-4 times it stayed running I continue home which was about 12 miles from my current location. For the next few days I did not go any where. …”

“I bought my 2014 C250 back in 2017 with 17K miles and currently has 58,570 miles. The issue is with fast acceleration from a stop or slow moving. When trying to accelerate to merge with traffic after a few seconds the vehicle goes into limp mode and the check engine light comes on. In limp mode I am only able to accelerate very slowly and this is a major concern for my safety. This has been and ongoing issue over the past few years and I have learned to reset it temporarily (around 10 times) with a YouTube fix. …”
