To whom it may concern, I had a near death experience while driving one of your vehicles. I am the owner of a mercedes 2002 Ml320, which was purchased at a phillips mercedes dealership in virginia beach va. I need to address a very serious incident that occurred over the weekend (December 18, 2010). I was driving back from richmond going toward virginia beach, I was driving 70 mph on I-64 and had it on cruise control, ahead I saw that traffic slowing down so I stepped on the break; I then realized that my breaks weren’t working and I was unable to stop or slow the car down. I attempted to push the break peddle down and it wouldn’t nudge even though I applied all of my weight to it, the speed did not diminish at all, I then tried the emergency break and that also failed to slow me down, my friend suggested that I put the car in neutral and then try the break, fortunately that worked and was finally able to come to a complete stop. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life. Your product put my friend’s and my life in jeopardy. I had the bas/esp light come on in the pass and have brought it in for repairs 3 times already: 07/27/2005, 12/01/2009 and in 10/19/2010. I am stunned that a company who has such a great reputation and seems to thrive on customer satisfaction dropped the ball. At no point in time did any of the technicians who performed the repairs on my car advise me of the potential danger.

The contact owns a 2002 Mercedes Benz Ml320. The contact was driving with the cruise control activated when the vehicle abnormally accelerated up to 90 mph. The contact was unable to disengage the cruise control although she was depressing the break pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the accelerator, cruise control and the electric kit were defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 83,367 and the current mileage was 113,000.

Was driving vehicle on highway at 75 mph set speed in cruise control and stepped on brake as I approached traffic congestion. Vehicle would not stop and continued to maintain set speed regardless how hard I pressed on the brake. Eventually, I decided to try shifting into neutral and the vehicle was placed back under control of the footbrake. Thankfully, the vehicle was slowed down without incident but it was a very scary moment. Noticed, at this time, the bas/esp malfunction indicator lamp was displayed on the dashboard. Drove vehicle directly to a mercedes dealership for repairs. Dealer advised stop lamp switch shorted. Replaced lamp switch. Although, this was the first incident while in cruise control the vehicle did have similar past problems with the braking system (ie-brake switch and shifter control module were replaced) that prevented shifting out of park into any other position. Vehicle should have safety device to override "cruise control" or prevent "cruise control" operation with any malfunction in the braking system or activation of the braking indicator lamp. What assurances are there to prevent this from happening again?.

Driving on rt 30 in camden NJ when my vehicle began accelerating at high rate of speed (I was traveling at 50mph and vehicle sped up to about 80 and I could not stop it). I had to put emergency brakes and ultimately put vehicle into park to get it to stop. Nothing in vehicle caused vehicle to accelerate and vehicle did not stop and nearly caused me to drive into traffic. Mercedes denies having any problems with vehicles and blamed me for operation. I have been driving on the road as a police officer for 14 years and know that it was an issue with vehicle that caused this problem.
