I saw a post with the same problems in Sept 09 acceleration skips and a vibration in the floor board. There are no codes and I have already had the coolant transmission test for the glyco ratio and they are within their allowance. Still no codes. Any advise on where to start. 2004 model with 40,000 miles.

    It's hard to know what is actually happening here, is the transmission slipping? Engine misfiring? Something else? I guess that is the question that needs to be answered to know what to do.
    I would consider taking this to a MB shop and having a good tech go for a ride and see what they think it is. I would get the software in the engine and transmission control modules checked to see if they need to be upgraded, that could address this issue and you will never be able to diagnose this type of problem (software) yourself.
    You mention a vibration, so it may even be a bad motor mount or something, but this is where the test drive comes into play.
    Good Luck!
