R Class throttle response
I have a late 2009 R350 diesel Grand Edition.
A beautiful seven seater Diesal car, but one problem. I can be waiting to go from a crossing or roundabout and I put my foot on the accelerator and nothing happens for about three seconds before the car picks up. This has several times put me in a dangerous situation. The dealers say it has all the engine management upgrades, but the car is still spoilt.
Has anyone else got this problem?

R Class throttle responce
Thank you to those who have posted a responce. Mine is a deisel, with a seven speed paddle shift. The issue is not down shifting, it is from a stop it hesitates. Only 20k miles on it and still under warranty.
For interest a resent journey to Devon of 270 miles at an average speed of 76 mph returned 29.9 mpg and on a recent journey of 80 miles at an avrage speed of 73 mph it returned 31.1 mpg. Certainly better than the Chevy Tahoe I hired recently in the states which struggled to do 18 mpg, but at least the throttle responce from a start was instant.
