| Description of the problem | My mercedes benz e-350 has intermittently experienced problems with its 7-speed transmission. The transmission locks up in a high gear and will not shift either automatically or manually. The only way to clear the problem is to turn off the engine and restart. Twice in the last week it has resulted in near collisions. Dealer fix of topping off transmission fluid and resetting the computer doesn't solve problem.*jb |
