something wrong with my benz help!!!

hey guys, i have this problem with my benz, some times in idel on "Drive" , the car would feel like its bogging up and just about to stall this usually happens when i am trying to park the car after some driving.

it comes and goes usually last about 5 sec or a bit, its happened to me about 2 times over 1 and a half years since i bought my car.

anyway today i was gonna over take this car cause my lane merges into his, that bogging or the car is gonna stall on me **** happened while i was trying to over take the other car, i nearly **** my self, so i thought i cannot neglect this problem anymore.

after i got home driving into the garage it happened again, i stepped on the break while its happening, it did nathing but as soon as i put it in netural it went away...just want to know if this has happened to anyone here ?? and any advice b4 i take it in to the dealer ?

thanks guys

Had similar issue with my car. Dying when coming to a stop, dropping idle, etc. Took it to the stealer who encountered it on test drives. Had to fly in a special tech from up east. Rightup didn't provide info other than special MB tech working on it. Initially stealer tried the bad gas routine, then the don't run E85. MB told him him thats not it because after flushing gas from system and replacing it with stealership gas it did the same.

i get that too everyonce in a while. it usually happens when i'm stopped at a light and idling but never when i was driving. i'm thinking that it could be a misfire in a cylinder, a dirty or clogged injector, or fuel filter. when my father ran star diagnose on my car nothing out of the ordinary came up, so i'm hoping after i perform a complete tune up the problem goes away. since the problem occurs sparingly and doesnt pose a risk to life and limb, i'm in no rush to try to fix it. i just except it as one of the quercks my car has. but keep us posted to what the dealer, i'm curious as to what might be causing the problem
