Description of the problem | My vehicle became stuck on one gear as i entered the freeway. I had my kids with me and i had to pull over the shoulder. After turning it off and on again, it reset itself. This has happened 4 times now. Now its happening on stop lights as i try to accelerate, it feels its dragging and cars behind me are honking at me to move out of the way. It is unsafe and i cant afford to fix it or buy another one. I researched and found much more people are having this problem. Why has no one done anything about this issue? My wife drives this car and i am not sure if she will respond in the same fashion as i did when presented with this dangerous event if it occurs. I wanted someone with some clout to know about this just in case a disaster occurs i know who to go after. Please make mercedes benz responsible and fix this free of charge. This is my only car and it was not cheap and now to pay for a problem i am sure they know is a problem.... Its ridiculous. Please help before someone gets hurt. Just look up 2007 mercedes benz c230 stuck on gear and you will see how big this issue is. I bought the car in january 2016. |
