Description of the problem	it occurred on the freeway in stop-and-go traffic. The vehicle would not accelerate and the rpm ran high. The transmission gear indicator went blank. I had to pull over, turn the car off, let it sit, then when i restarted the vehicle, it was normal again. I had only 38,400 miles on the vehicle at the time of the failure! Online there are many complaints regarding the 2006 2007 c230's with the same problem. An independent repair shop said it is perhaps the transmission speed sensor which is part of the electrical conductor plate assembly. When talking to the dealership about my vehicles camshaft sensor failure repair and possible balance shaft issues, 7 months prior to this incident, the service rep admitted that they have many repairs with transmission control problems and encouraged me to buy an extended warranty! Here is a quote from an independent repair shop: "these units are failing so often that the dealer has restricted selling them even in their own shop. To order a part, the dealer must submit a request with computer scans and control unit log reports of the suspected failed vehicle's electronics. The factory then sends the parts they deem necessary for the repair (conductor plate assembly, or complete valve body)." there is clearly a defect going on and i too would like a recall investigation through the nhtsa. The repair on this is thousands of dollars!
