Description of the problem	While driving experienced sudden loss of power. Engine would rev normally but vehicle acted as if in neutral. I was able to move over to side of freeway safely. Placed car in park and then shifted back into drive, and car behaved normally. After doing research, i have discovered that this is a common problem with this model. According to, http://jayauto. Wordpress. Com, mercedes is in a fight with its own suppliers because they produce a low-quality part. If you have problems with your 7-speed transmissions, please report it to: nhtsa. Only this organization can enforce mercedes to do a transmission recall. In 2011, mercedes made their biggest profit in their history. However, i don't think they will use it to fix their issues with transmission.
