Hi all something weird happened to my new w246 over weekend and wondering if anyone had this.

Was in cruise control mode and had to put my foot down (emergecny avoidence moment)

As soon as I took my foot of gas after about 10 sec next thing i know the car started to be stuck as if I floored still and each time I tried to disengage cruise it just flashed cruise and instead of the speed it just showe --. Turning cruise off or pressing accelerator was being ignored.

Car just kept accelerating at max rpm and only could slow it by braking.

After about what felt like ages I got the cruise to turn off and car was fine just effing scary as it felt like cruise was

Just wondering if turning off the cruise as I went to put my foot down at same time confused it and in which case that's a serious software bug
 
No possibility the throttle pedal is getting stuck...like by a carpet?
 
thats what I thought first but then its top hinged in w246 and even fuly pressed no where near the mats
 
Have it read by STAR ASAP - in newer cars things like throttle position etc are stored for a period of time.
 
Its going in on Thursday for a new rear windscreen due to scratches in the glass will get them to check it then
