Mercedes Benz ML350 owners have reported 4 problems related to car accelerates on its own (under the vehicle speed control category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In my neighborhood approaching a stop sign about 20 yards away. The car all of a sudden accelerated at a high rate of speed. I was going too fast to make the right turn and the brakes did not stop the car. I ended up running through the stop sign up an incline and into the woods hitting multiple trees before coming to a stop. This caused over $18,000 damage to the vehicle (not including damage to the under carriage). Not only was this pretty frightening but what could have happened if I wasn't in my neighborhood when this took place could have killed somebody. It really shook me up. Thank goodness there were no kids at the bus stop. I was also surprised that the air bags did not deploy. The insurance company totaled the car so no one really seems too concerned about the cause of the unintended acceleration that totaled my car while driving in my own neighborhood! this should not have happened. I hope someone will care enough to try and determine what happened so this doesn't happen to someone else.

While parking my car, going from reverse to drive to straighten the wheels, it suddenly, automatically accelerated and hit a parked car and crashed into a tree in a yard located about 12 yards or so away, significantly damaging the front of the car, side of the car, and causing the air bags to be released. This was an unintended acceleration by the vehicle that automatically occurred. I suffered bruises in the forehead and right hand, and laceration of the left knee.
