Hi I have a 00 c230k. It runs good in normal condition but after I press the gas pedal about 3/4 to accelarate the car goes into "limp mode". It wont accelarate at all, I have to keep on pressing the pedal for like 10 seconds before it accelarate!

It doesnt show any codes or lights. But it goes back to normal when i shut off the engine and restart. Whats wrong with my car?:mad:

the same sheeeeeet happened to me last Friday with my C43 AMG, I was coasting close to a redlight and it switch to green, I step on the axxelerator and nothing happened, car didnn't react it felt like an old fart in a permobile in slow motion!!!!!!!
I had to stomp harder on the axxelerator and then my car reacted and lunged forward.
Strange thing about this!
I had just picked up my car from a B-service and no codes about any problems were stored.

the brake light switch can cause this prob

also on leaving the car with dealer did you take the km before you left it with them i hope no one took it for a hard spin we had a guy in england last year loose his car as a mechanic took it out for a burn and crashed it and also an other amg had gear box trouble from another garage after a joy ride buy staff

My car does that and has been doing that since November. My cluster's ASR light goes on when my car enters limp mode. I also have a rough idle and the car turns off if I do not accelerate immediately after starting it.
