I experienced this today for the second time. On cruise control at 70mph. Slight uphill incline and I noticed that there was a hesitation and the gearbox changed down. I applied maximum throttle which had no effect. After about 10 seconds, all was well and back to normal. No warning lights.

This is the second time it has happened, first time was a few weeks ago after which I had it connected to Star but no faults were logged. Oddly enough, it happened on the same stretch of road the first time. It has been fine since.

Car is a CLS 250 SB, 44k miles. First time, it was low on fuel, today, 3/4 full.

Any suggestions please?

thanks.

Andy.

It seems no one has an answer for this one , did this happen at the exact same point on the road both times? If it did I would attempt the same road not using cruise but holding the car at 70 , it could be that a sensor is picking something up due to camber of the road or a dip that’s causing the traction to momentarily cut in causing the hesitation, if it does the same without cruse control it could be that and not an issue . My only other suggestion if you can get the car to do the same thing would be to get someone with diagnostic equipment that can read live data sat in the car with you to monitor what the car is doing at the point of Hesitation, hope you find an answer !
