- when driving slowly, with foot gentle on pedal, it dont slowly accelerate, but also time to time accelerate itself like i would step on it more (but not much, and im not accelerating) and than change the gear into higher, with again dropping the rpm back to the point where it was before this unwanted "gear change"
- when stopping, sometimes it holds the transmission 2 long in high gear than rought change down so whole car pulls a little
ATM im having my car on service.. when explaining what is wrong with car the mechanic told me "it's a transmission differencial.. or even the whole transmission!"
Please guys help me if someone knows what that can be..

How many miles since the transmission filter and fluid has been changed. New fluid (mb synthetic is recommended though I used Mobil 1) will do wonders for these "lifetime sealed" transmissions. I would do the trans fluid and filter first, as this is now required maintenance according to a recent service bulletin.
The Mass Air Flow meter, mentioned in the previous post, is a 10 minute job and about $200. DO NOT buy a used one on EBAY. a new MAF meter is even iffy, as I have heard there is about a 20% failure rate. This is where it pays to buy from a dealer who will give you a 1 year warranty on the part
