it's either the gas can't get in due to fuel FILTER AND/OR DIRTY FUEL INJECTORS, DROP IN FUEL PRESSURE, CLOGGED AIR CLEANER , OR just needs a tune up.

I would put a can of chevron techron in a full tank of super dupper premium gas and see if there's a difference. If there is, then it's the fuel system .

the surging issue on the other hand might be a vaccum leak issue.
A good MBZ shop should be able to diagnose this correctly.

Good luck
