Mercedes Benz C320 owners have reported 4 problems related to vehicle speed control (under the vehicle speed control category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving on a level and straight road the car automatically applied brakes and came to a complete halt. Weather conditions where; clear visibility, about 85 deg f, dry asphalt surface. Error codes resulting from this fault indicates a faulty esp yaw rate sensor. The independent mechanic code reader showed that the yaw rate sensor output was reading angle rates from as low as 34 to as high as 300+ gradients/sec, while the car was not moving and parked at the shop. As the person responsible for any actions while driving this car, I that the car should not overrule the driver's inputs and create an unsafe condition. The vehicle should just indicate to the driver the existence of an unsafe condition and do not take any action until the driver acknowledges this warning/caution.

The problem:
when applying pressure to the gas pedal, no response is experienced in the car initially. This causes the driver to depress the gas pedal more aggressively to get the car to respond. When it does respond, it accelerates extremely fast. I have had two near accidents because of this condition. As a driver, you must throttle the car aggressively to feel confident the car will accelerate to get moving. The stated problem has existed since purchasing this car new in July 2002. I have reported the problem to the dealer (park place motor cars) and asked that it be corrected on 2 different occasions. I've had no positive response and consequently the condition exists today.
