Some Mercedes-Benz GLE350 owners report experiencing rapid unintended acceleration during gear shifts, which can be attributed to several underlying issues. These may include a dirty throttle body, leading to poor engine performance and erratic idle, which can affect acceleration response. Additionally, problems with the gear selector can disrupt smooth gear shifts and contribute to unintended acceleration, necessitating prompt attention. Some owners also note that sudden unintended acceleration can arise from various factors, complicating vehicle control and posing safety risks. Furthermore, automatic transmission issues, such as rough shifting, may exacerbate these acceleration problems. It is recommended that owners have the throttle body inspected, address any gear selector concerns, and ensure proper transmission function to maintain safe driving conditions.
