I was driving to work on 75 North where speed is 65mph at lunch hour and all of the sudden the car started to decelerate from 65 miles an hour to zero in seconds the car stopped, I saw my life before my eyes in my rearview mira as cars and semi trucks were swerving from plowing into me at 65 mph to 75 mph...I only had seconds to remove myself from the vehicle to safety where I saw a Jeep Grand Cherokee plow into my car at high speed I only had seconds to remove myself from my car and escape to safety and run to the side of the road yeah guard rail as I watched in horror my car being plowed into like an accordion and cut in half. I have had this same incident happened to me while my car was being serviced at the Mercedes dealership and they gave me a loaner car 2013 to drive and the same thing happened to me while I was driving the new loaner car from the Mercedes dealership, I was lucky as I was driving a loaner when it stopped accelerating it just started decelerating as I was near an intersection to coast to safety I believe this is an occurrence and can happen to others that are driving these cars.
