2011 Mercedes benz E350 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1367213
Internal NHTSA #	10969441
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	E350
Model Year	2011
File date	29/03/17
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle intermittently shifts itself from drive to park while moving forward while decelerating at slow speeds (approximately under 5 mph.) there is a sudden jerk, and everyone / everything in the car is thrown forward as the vehicle jumps to a dead stop. This is quite dangerous and further, can probably cause rapid deterioration of the vehicle. The issue was first presented in january 2017 to the mercedes dealership in reno, nv who could not duplicate the problem, but charged ~$140 for the analysis. They stated that there was no record with mb of such an issue. They also stated that if the issue was later found and repaired, the dealership would credit the evaluation costs. During a trip to salt lake city this week the problem reoccurred several times and i scheduled an appointment at the slc mercedes dealership (ken garff). At today's appointment (3/29/17), the assistant service manager told me that they couldn't duplicate the problem. However, they found a description of this exact issue in the mb database and have a recommended fix. Unfortunately, that fix is over $800 and mercedes will not take and financial responsibility for repairing this, as it is not a "recall." this is most upsetting, as i view the sudden stopping and transmission change while moving as a safety and a longevity issue for the vehicle. I am planning on taking the vehicle in this week to mb slc and having the prescribed repairs completed. Further, i believe that mercedes-benz should be responsible both ethically and financially for resolving this engineering defect.
