2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class recalls

I own a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C300 equipped with a power trunk.

The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Car stops accelerating and shifts into neutral without warning I nearly got hit from behind. I have consulted several other Mercedes vehicle owners and all had the same issue. Two of the other owners stated that this happened on the interstate and was very lucky they were not involved in a collision. Both vehicles were GLC 300. Mercedes does not seem to have an answer to the issue and all previous owners traded vehicles for fear of dying.
