Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Car does not down shift when slowing down to stop. Then when you try to accelerate it barely moves. One has to place the transmission into park, then turn engine off and then restart engine to reset transmission. Fault codes in the onboard computer all point to valve body conductor plate on transmission. Mercedes will not sell or replace part to independent mechanics. They will only sell it to dealers which i believe are told to diagnose a different problem. In other words work around the problem to generate income before actually trying to fix the actual problem. This is a well documented problem amongst ml 350 owners with some paying thousands and still not having the problem corrected. Please look into this because this can become a safety issue especially at a busy traffic light.
