NHTSA complaint #11190094, filed 2019-03, 9,700 miles“I have leased GLA 250 mercedes benz while I was driving on the freeway, I felt the gas pedal stop working and the car stopped accelerating with sign of collision prevention assist plus on the carpool lane. I do not understand why this is happening even though there was no car in front of me. I have been a mercedes benz customer past 5 years and I never had this accident. I might have an accident if a car behind me did not stop its car. This is a definitely mechanical problem and I want mercedes benz to take a responsibility and solve this issue. Thank you.”
