2005 Mercedes benz E500 Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1024530
Internal NHTSA #	10553464
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	E500
Model Year	2005
File date	13/06/13
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Code: 4a30 engine control module not identified or incorrect control module. Code: 54f0 can communication with control unit transmission control is sporadically disturbed. Safety issue: i recently got off the freeway, came to a stop, and then attempt to proceed normally with the vehicle now stuck in 5th (or whatever the sensor chooses) gear, and no power steering- there is a reasonable user presumption that the car would accelerate normally and be able to safely join traffic.... Instead it crawls forward at a few miles an hour into potential harms way with no way to accelerate the vehicle normally, thereby leaving the driver and our children in danger. I speak from personal experience, and would not wish this terror experience on our worst enemy. Mercedes montvale nj will not participate on fixing the cause of this safety issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
