The contact owns a 2000 Mercedes Benz S Class. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal has a switch that controls the pedal and regulates the speed. If the switch fails to connect, the engine does not rev. If it falls short, the vehicle goes into full acceleration whether it is in reverse or park. When the switch failed while driving 30 mph, the engine accelerated to approximately 60 mph. The vehicle continued at maximum speed. The contact had to place both feet on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle skidded and the engine had to be shut off. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that a diagnostic would cost $100 and $350 to repair the switch. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 112,000.

2003 s600 wdbng76j63a338722 my relatively new (3000 miles) s600 has a persistent problem with the new v12 engine that has now developed into a serious safety risk for the driver. My car has been in service more than 4 times for this problem - it has been escalated to the tech center by my dealer - it has not ever been fixed. The spark plugs are regularly fouled by misfiring cylinders (1,2,7,8) - the dealer says it may be a software problem that mbusa has failed to fix. . And now - when driven at speed over relatively modest bumps - the car totally dies and all power is gone. . . The srs light comes on for a moment but all steering on the car is gone and (if you are not killed in the meantime) you need to steer the car manually to the side of the road as it coasts to a stop. This is a deadly driving hazard - mbusa is aware of this problem and permitting it to continue. . . You have failed to respond to my prior written materials including those contained in your own surveys to me. . . The car is a lemon and I want a new car or we will begin suit as well as state and federal lemon and fraud proceedings . . We will also file a demand with NHTSA that an immediate recall be required of mbusa on all s6oo cars with this engine. . . Note this cylinder problem began to appear at 700 miles&. In March, 2003
it happened again in April, 2003 at 1000 miles
it has continued to occur and has never been fixed&. In the meantime, the new problem of the power failing entirely has been happening for about 10 days
