Can you please post the service record once it is fixed?
What the hell is this?

DTC P 0872 - Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch C Circuit Low
The Sensor/Switch is showing low pressure in circuit C but I am not sure why or what the cause/repair is.
Cannot find any info on 7208.

Good to speak with you again today arctichaze. We already spoke about this over the phone, but I wanted to come on the thread and let everyone know that every Powerchip tune is protected by a three year warranty. Basically, this reflash is FREE - because it was a MBUSA problem. It would really suck if you had to go through all that with the dealer only to come back to us and pay for a reflash.
If anyone has any questions about Powerchip feel free to call us. 1-800-495-0777

Do you have a tune? Were you in M mode? I'm glad you are okay though. When you have your car fixed, print the service record I attached above so that they dont need to mess with your car for an extended period of time.

I was in Sport & pushing it through some city streets (stops & starts). I have a stage 1 EuroCharged too. I'll keep you posted on what the dealership thinks about your TSB too.

My ECU went into limp mode recently and all the different functions were not working. ESP, Cruise Control, Brake warnings, etc.
I have the Evosport/Powerchip Tune and called for Jeremy or Travis after the Dealer replaced the entire ECU and asked for a Flash replacement.
I spoke to Paul and he said that Both Jeremy and Travis no longer worked there. He said I had to "PAY" to have my Flash redone!
Doesn't seem proper after the recent issues I heard about those two guys!

Just in case someone missed it the 1st time. In my example...
IT WAS NOT AN ECU ISSUE IT WAS A FAULTY ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
However in the process of troubleshooting your car the dealer will usually flash it with the latest software that they have. Which also means you will need to re-flash your car once its fixed. Which should be covered under warranty.

If I was you I would have a mechanic reset that ECU back to stock before you take the car into the dealer.

Wow! I bet that was pretty scary. No throttle at high speeds.. eek
After driving 1 Japanese and 2 German cars the conclusion has been made.
Japanese are hard to break where as Germans are very sensitive.
I haven't had any issues dealing with the ecu but I've been to the dealer twice already for power-steering failure. The second time it happend to me was 220 miles away from home. Riding the tow truck for 3 hours with my car in the rearview mirror was quite an experience.

this used to happen to me in my old 01 c320.
It would happen at the worst times. Almost crashed real bad once during a turn across an intersection. It just died out for about 3 (VERY LONG) seconds before it came back to life just in time.
It was the computer controllong throttle input. Once that part was replaced.. never happened again.
Dont know if this is the same situation and the cars are obviously different, but i figured id share.

This happened to me today! Same message and the throttle just died! I was accelerating after turning at an intersection. Even though I was driving on a high speed backroad (55mph), there was not a car in sight, so it wasn't a huge scare like the op.
I got a Eurocharged ECU tune a month ago and have put around 500 miles on the car since then. This is the first time this has happened even though I have pused the car hard in the past.
Not sure what I should do. I will try to reproduce this one a clear day on one of the empty backroads.
