| Description of the problem | When accelerating from a stop light, the car would not shift gears automatically. The car seems to be stuck in 1st gear or neutral as i could not get past 20mph without maxing out my rpm's. I had to drive 3 miles going 20mph to get somewhere so i could get towed. After towed to the dealership, they could not replicate the situation. This has happened twice within a week's time. This is a mercedes 2007 e350. I have seen other posts about this exact same thing with no solution. The dealership said to pull over and restart the car. What!!! What kind of fix is that? I do that to my home pc... I shouldn't have to do that for my car! I bought this car less than 30 days ago... And the dealership doesn't seem to want any part of it. I haven't even made the first payment or received my permanent tags yet. |
