Description of the problem	On or about may 17, 2011 my 2006 c230 at the time with 83,312, you drive normally, make a stop on a traffic light for example, when it's time to go, you release the brake, accelerate, and nothing happens except for rpms revving up. The gear shifter is in "d" drive, gauge between the odometer/tachometer shows "d" drive as well, however the car acts as if it was in neutral!!! Shifting into neutral, reverse, or park, or back into drive - doesn't help! It's like a transmission is stuck in neutral!!! Also, shifting into d+/- to engage manual shifting doesn't work! And as far as you keep moving the shifter into reverse, neutral, manual shift, drive - the car electronic gear display on the dashboard still shows that the car is in "d" drive regardless of what position you move the shifter; and the car behaves as if it was in neutral all this time (you accelerate, rpms goes up, remove the foot from the pedal - engine idles). The only way to make the transmission work again is to shift it into park "p", and then turn off the engine, and then turn the engine back on, and then transmission works well again for tens or hundreds of miles before it gets "neutralized" paralyzed again. This also happened to me while driving down the i-5 in california around 70 mph's and i had to pull to the side of the road and turn the car off and back on, in order for it to start working normal. That is dangerous, what if i wouldn't have been able to stop on the side of the road it would have caused an accident. *jb
