Yes, I'd say this is a big issue.

My 560 just had the pedal fail, same deal. I had a few spare used around so just swapped it, but good to know new from MB is so inexpensive.

LOL... it was interesting.

Well, I was unable to get down to the local MB dealer this week to get one, but I need to drive the car tomorrow. Is there a temporary fix I can do until I get a pedal?

Someone said I could pull it up, since its broken. Could I do that if needed and then will it go down normally with the pedal itself pulled away? I just dont want to drive the car tomorrow and get caught out and not be able to accelerate.

Thanks.

Just remove it and use the rod as the "pedal"... I had to do this on my 300SD lol

While in there, verify linkage is opening TB 100% too.
