2011 ML550- Keeps on stalling!

Just got delivery of my 2011 ML550. Beautiful car. I have 300 miles on it and it has stalled several times. Also when stopped at a light, with having light pressure on the brake, the car wants to jump ahead..

The dealer said it was bad gas and drained the tank and put a new gas filter in- Codes read that the car was misfiring!

No results- car still does the same thing.

Anybody have a problem like this? I would appreciate any input. Thanks

I also use premium fuel. Just got word from the dealership that they found a vacuum leak on a intake manifold line. This could account for the stalling.

I hope it is OK now!!
