Vehicle stalls out at highway speeds. It will be in gear, shown on the dash, it will be redlining, but not move. It will stall out while the vehicle is in motion. The accelerator does not provide power to the transmission and acts as if it is in neutral. All I can do is coast to the side of the road and power off the car, open the door to provide a full power down, then restart the vehicle. This has happened over a dozen times since August 2025. Mercedes says there is no fix. It’s been in the shop more than 10 times for over 60 days. They have even sent out field engineers who cannot duplicate the issue, yet there are codes stored in the cars computer. The car also does not always shift into reverse or drive from park. The transmission often has a small 1-2 second delay upon pressing the accelerator from a stop, which sometimes puts me into the path of an oncoming car, say when turning left on a flashing yellow. Since the car has a delayed response, it puts me I harms way when I may have had time to go, but then it didn’t move. It also drives very jerky at times, shifts late or not at all. I have video of this but cannot load it through this form, so we need to send it a different way. I’ve opened multiple buy back requests as a lemon but Mercedes says no.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
