Hi All
I have recently bought a 2005 E280CDI with automatic transmission. Generally it is very good, but if I put my foot down too hard, it has trouble picking the right gear, revs very high a couple of times, jerks forward as if it can't pick a gear. Then, when I release the accelerator and try again, however gently, it seems to have slipped into some kind of safety mode and refuses to accelerate with any real power at all.
Next time I come back to the car it is as if it has reset itself and all works normally again.
Any suggestions as to what is happening and what to do about it?
