engine has no responding when I press gas pedal

Hi, Guys:
I have 2006 C280 with 95,000. Sometime (not always), at about 20 MPH, when I press gas pedal, engine and AT looks no responding to the gas pedal.
I need to press hard, then engine and AT respond. This only happen at about 20 MPH. At other speed range, there does not have this issue.
Engine service light is NOT on, and no error code shows.
By the way, three methods ago, I have engine repair about camshaft adjuster with cost about $3500 in MB dealer. After this repair, the issue shows up.
The dealer said this issue has nothing to do the engine repair.
Any recommendation? or someone has similar issue before?

Take it back to the dealer, and let them diagnose this issue. Then take it to an independent mechanic because the dealership will rip you off, HARD. You've had no check engine light come on? Any difficulty cranking the vehicle in the morning?

CEL light is NOT on. Car starting at morning has no problem. When the car is at dealer, the issue does not show. it happens about two times during commute driving every week.
