Reversing out of the parking spot, slowly, and suddenly it was full open throttle with 6000RPM. I applied brakes but they did not work, the car made two circles, hit the wall and stopped. That lasted 20 to 30seconds. Air bags were not deployed and I was not injured.
The car was towed to the Body Shop and repaired. Following that the car was checked by Mercedes and they found nothing wrong. I asked if they checked the car in reverse and they answered no. The incident has not occurred again.
