Three problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 2008 Mercedes Benz E350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This car auto accelerated while I was parking in the middle of a residential street on Sep 14, 2013. My car ended up hitting another parked car in front of me. My car damage is around $13,000. It is the 2nd time when it has auto accelerated within the past 6 months. The 1st. Time when it happened I was on the road & it moved few feet by itself when I stopped at a signal. I was able to control it by hitting the breaks with lots of force. That time, I thought it may be my imagination or earthquake, but this time, 2nd time, the engine made a racing sound & it just went out of control & hit the other parked car in front of me despite of me hitting the brakes. Apparently the car brakes couldn't do anything either & the end result was I hit the other parked SUV in front of me.
The contact owns a 2008 Mercedes Benz E350. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph and making a turn, the vehicle increased acceleration independently. After repeated force was applied to the brake pedal, the vehicle came to a stop. The vehicle was towed to the dealer however, the technician was unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
The car accelerated on it's own in a parking lot leading to a crash. The car went inside a building. My foot was on the brakes all the time, but car did not stop. Air bags did not open.
