My car shifts from Drive into Park when I'm moving less than 5 miles an hour, so I've been trapped (momentarily) taking turns, in intersections, in traffic.

Driving 25 mph around a curve when my car lost control, despite my best attempts my car would not allow me to take control or to break. My car went from 25 mph to 60 mph through a two lane traffic street, forcing me to swerve in and out of traffic merely missing six cars and a semi trailer truck, spinning my car around twice and facing the opposite direction of traffic.

On June 16,2017, while I was driving on freeway, I tried to slowed down but it turned out to accelerate suddenly at around 85mph, the steering system was messed up and I lost control of my car, the more I try to brake the faster the car crashed, so it crashed to the right side and rolled over down to the ditch, I called 911 and unfortunately there was no signal, I could not open the door nor window. The smoke came out from inside and the car caught on fire, I could have been burnt to death alive without people passing by, they used a big rock to break the window and pulled me out of the car, two minutes later, the car exploded and burnt to ground. This is a horrible experience, people like me spent so much money on purchasing such an expensive car with expectation to be safer in driving, but when it comes to car accident, there are still so many flaws which could have led to wrongful death, this makes me feel frustrated and I called mb long beach and beverly hills, they just showed indifferent and it's none of their business. I'm now very disappointed and I hope there won't be any victims like this. I was the exception and I hope people driving mb Glk350 could be lucky enough. Mb owes me an explanation and independent investigation should be carried out, maybe a recall if necessary for the safety of consumers.

My mb glk 35 crashed at a high speed around 80 mph, it burnt to ground. I would have been burnt alive without people using a big rock to break the window and pulling me out. Due to the steering and engine malfunction, my car crashed and I couldn't open the door nor windows. This is horrible experience, Mercedes Benz needs to investigate this accident and I don't want more victims like this.

While exiting the hwy the car slow down on its own from about 60 to around 45 without breaking. Inoperative see owner's manual appeared on the dashboard and the car started loosing power. When I tried to accelerate it did would not speed up pass 50. After coming to a traffic light I tried to accelerate and it was very slow even when the pedal was all the way down to the floor. Luckily there was no one on the road at the time. I pump the pedal several times trying to speed up and it would not go pass 55-60 despite pressing the gas to the floor. After I got home I turned the car off and on then drive it again, acceleration seemed to come back and the lights were no longer on the dashboard
