When i come from a dead stop my car gets a heavy hesitation. Not the supercharger i know for a fact. Does it whenever it is in low rpm it studders to get up to rpm but once up there smooth as silk. The car will hesitation like surging, it does it when i ease into the pedal if you know what im saying. NO CEL NO CEL.

I would not rely on the FUYA approach---find someone with factory diagnostics that knows the engine that will provide a knowledgeable course of action. We love customers like you-----loads of billable hours!

I have the exact identical issue. The car is in the shop right now for it and to fix the loose drivers seat.. it looks like it's the torque converter failing, I already spent a grand on a new valve body.. but it may be the freewheel in the tranny.. anyway I have had four S classes and every one of them has had torque converters that bother me so I am thinking about buying the $1100 UPD 3k stall converter.. the only issue is if the tranny needs rebuilt too that's 2500 plus the 1100 plus the 1000 I've already spent plus the 8k I've spent on fixing all the other issues (at wholesale prices I might add) and you get the picture that they will have to bury me in this car!!
