R350

  • 45,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Mercedes-Benz R350. When attempting to accelerate the vehicle hesitated then accelerated up to 20000 rpms (tachometer red line). He was able to turn the engine off. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and repaired. Several months after the repair the failure resurfaced. The vehicle was towed again to the dealer and a technician concluded that the transmission's electronic device failed. However he speculates that the electronic throttle failed. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. The current mileage was approximately 49,000.
