 Description of the problem7-9-2018: pulling out of my driveway with a 2018 thor chateau 24fs (with a 2016 sprinter 3500 diesel chassis) with less than 9k miles, i had a "bang" from the transmission. In hindsight, this was just after a right turn. About 300 miles later after a stop light and 90 degree right turn, the transmission started trying to shift back and forth between 2 and and 3 (or maybe 1st and 2nd) in somewhat violent rapid alternation. I stopped and restarted the rv. Ran fine. About 75 miles later after a right turn, same thing. Stopped & restarted. Odbii (scangauge) gave c0037 "left rear wheel sensor" code and the dash lights showed: check engine, abs, tire rotation and traction lights... And they wouldn't go off after restarting engine. Mb dealer replaced left rear wheel speed sensor. 9/2/2018: did a left turn and started having same problem. Same dash lights came on. Odbii code was c003a (
