Possible fuel pump issues

Hi. Thanks for looking. My car goes limp mode when I get into it hard and wont run right until I turn it off and restart it. From what I can find it's an issue with a high pressure fuel pump. Has anyone had this issue and can you point me into the right direction to find a thread to fix this? Thank you.

The 2010 C300 has the M272 engine which does not have a high-pressure fuel pump like the 2013-2014 C300 with the M276 engine. Your best option is to get the car scanned to see what kind of faults there are. Then we can start diagnosing and advising you on repairs.

Yeah I know. Some people tell me the same thing. This Magnetite Black color is really magic. It can look black, grey or blue.
