I was turning on to a busy street and the throttle became unresponsive. I verified the car was in drive. There was no engine noise when pressing the accelerator pedal. I stopped the car and shifted to park and then back to drive and the car responded normally.

We were driving our Mercedes gle 350 on I 80 near mile marker 203.1, Ohio on 7/11/2020 at 7 am. It was raining a bit in morning. The lane departure assist was on, and it was turning green and gray continuously. I keep lane assist on all the time for safety purpose. I was driving on the slow lane on right most lane at approximately 60 miles. Suddenly the vehicle lost control and started slipping on the road. I tried to control it, however it would not come under control. Finally the car drifted all the way to the left most lane, and rammed into the concrete divider on driver side. The driver side bags inflated and luckly no one was hurt seriously. I am a mechanical engineer from case western reserve university, and have worked in auto industry for a few years before. It almost felt that there was something that was mechanically wrong that caused the car to slip and loose control. Mercedes gle 350, 2020 model has a harsh reaction to lane departure and I have a feeling that it caused the car to hydroplane because the reaction is so sudden. Please look into the issue, so that no one get seriously hurt. This is my first accident in life and I am 42 years old. I think the lane departure system in Mercedes dosen't work or needs to be fine tuned so that it dosen't cause accidents in slippery conditions.

I set the distronic cruise control to 45 mph. It suddenly reset itself to 70 mph and started to quickly accelerate to 70 mph while showing the speed limit to be 70 mph when the posted speed limit was 45 mph. I reset the cruise control to 45 mph. When the posted speed limit went to 50 mph, the car quickly started accelerating to 80 mph and showed the speed limit to be 80 mph on the dashboard digital display. I quickly slammed on the brakes to regain control. I finally figured out that under the square speed limit sign, was a round kilometer speed limit sign, and my cars cameras were erroneously reading the kilometer sign as a mph speed limit and adjusting the cruise control to the wrong, higher speed. Very dangerous as I almost went through a red light trying to adjust the speed down using the steering wheel buttons. I was caught off guard and didn't think to disengage the distronic cruise control. This happened today on ben hill griffin pkwy about 4 miles South of rsw (fort myers international airport) as I was driving my family to the airport.
