| Description of the problem | This is a 5 year old vehicle with 57000 miles and the transmission needs replaced. I have researched online and have found numerous people reporting same problem with same vehicle at around same mileage. Makes me think there is some fundamental problem with the vehicle that mb has failed to acknowledge and fix. The repair will cost over $6000 which is around the same cost others have reported online. It just seems too coincidental to me that so many people have had same problem with this vehicle with the symptoms being the same at around the same mileage. Might be something to look into and hold mb accountable for. Isn't this the kind of thing that drives recalls? |
