2016 C300 Surged While in Park
Hi Everyone!
I pulled into a parking spot and put my car in park. It was still running, my feet were off the gas and the break. The car surged forward at a high rate of speed. I slammed on the brake with both feet to the floor and the car came to a stop after about traveling two feet. The passenger I. The back hit their head on the metal part of the passenger seat headrest.
Has anyone experienced this? I called Mercedes and they said they haven't heard of this happening before.
Thank you!

Never heard this before but it looks like you didn't put the car in park but thought you did. If you did, you would have always hear the automatic brakes do their work.

I know , seemed like the car would have been in drive. But it was definitely in Park . Almost broke my leg trying to stop the car with the brake . Finally was able to turn the car off . Very scary , like the old Audi issue from years ago
