At 5:00pm, I was driving the Mercedes Benz C300, year 2009, 9010 miles in the parking lot of ymca in la Canada, ca at 3 miles/hr. I prepared to stop the car and stepped on the brake, suddenly, the engine rev up and accelerated. The car jumped over the stop bumper but I pressed very hard on the brake and finally the car stopped and the engine was off. The front of the car was about 2 feet from the wall at the parking lot. I was so scared because it was the first time I experienced the unintended acceleration. I went to the gym and at 6:30pm I drove the car back home, it is about 6 miles from my house. I really feel unsafe with my almost brand new mb. I'll take off for work next Monday and will take the car to the dealer for checking. I was lucky this time with no damage or injury because I was driving very slowly in the parking lot and ready to stop. However I don't want to take the chance next time, it's so dangerous, I can get kill or somebody can get hurt if my car jumps again. I do the research and see the complaint # 10330370 on 05/23/2010. The case was almost the same: When the driver stepped on the brake and the mb unintended accelerated. Please do the investigation by now and feel free to contact me anytime.

I was driving on the parkway at ~40 mph and attempted to slow down by stepping on the brake. The car did not slow down but accelerated. And struck the car in front of me. Every time I pressed on the brake, the car accelerated so that the car struck the car in front twice. I tried to turn off the ignition and was unable to. Finally, I pushed hard on the brake enough to slow it down and I was ten able to put the car in neutral. The engine raced but I was then able to turn it off. Despite damage to the front of the vehicle, the airbags did not deploy.
