| Description of the problem | The car stays in first gear and i have to stop and pull over. Put it in park and it jerks very badly going it to park. Then i turn it off, and back on. Then everything goes back to normal, until it happens again. So many people have this issue and there is no recall. What are they waiting for. There is 113 complaints on this car and almost none are from the only recall they have actually issued. This happens on a red light. It happens on the high way. In reverse. I wish i never bought this car. Some people paid 1500 dollars to fix it. I thought mercedes meant high quality. At least they can admit their mistake and fix it for the people suffering before someone dies. The car has 94000 miles. My honda went to 200,000 with out issues. |
