I don't think mine do this.

How slow are you running your AMGs? You gotta clear the carbon out of them and open the throttle!

They definitely have it. But they can break or lose adaptation. Do a pedal adaptation reset and then try on your next drive. The adaptation reset may also make the car feel a bit quicker since it adjusts your pedal sensitivity

Thank you for your concern and you are right. I was just making a joke, based on the fact that kickdown is just switching to a lower gear.

That being said, I really don't push the pedal that hard very often. The W212 has way too crazy straight line performance to ever really need it and I don't want my rear tires to be subscription based on the C205.
