“I purchased this C250 in dec 2013, have 3 similar occurrence were the engine failed to respond. Once coming out of a light, and twice on I-95 both times trying to switch lanes to get out of on coming traffic, and on both occasions the vehicle did not respond to the gas pedal. One of the incidents occurred with cruise control engaged. We were lucky were not killed by the semi tractor trailers.

As such, I put my car in Sport driving mode and accelerated very hard from a complete stop. The car accelerated as normal for a few seconds (I reached approximately 40 to 50 MPH), then I felt the car lag and felt a loss of power. The car was in limp mode and I couldn’t accelerate even though I was pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor. …”

“The contact owns a 2014 mercedes benz C250. While driving approximately 65 MPH, a warning light illuminated and the vehicle decelerated and became inoperable. The vehicle was able to be restarted and was towed by the dealer, who was not able to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.”
