Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	There is a systemic problem with the mercedes benz 7g tronic 722. 9 transmission control module which causes the vehicle's transmission to, without notice, fail to shift out of 2nd gear which creates a serious safety hazard while driving including entering the freeway and attempting to merge into traffic. The issue is well documented on a number of website on the internet which includes support groups including one advocating and soliciting a class action suit in the state of ca. The nhtsa needs to look into this manufacturer's defect so as to prevent serious injury including the loss of life. Mb usa is very much aware of the issue which requires the replacement of transmission control module (tcm). Adding insult to injury, mb restricts the sale of the tcm so that the repair can only be made at an authorized mb dealership adding to the consumer's cost to repair the vehicle. The estimate repair cost is $1,500 at the dealership. Cost estimates outside of the dealership, if the item was able to be purchased, is less than half that. I was nearly rear ended by a tractor trailer while entering i-91 in ct just last week when the vehicle unexpectedly went into what mb calls "limp mode" when the check engine light comes on and the vehicle speed is restricted to 30 mph immediately. This near death experience was quite alarming. I contacted mb usa and they denied any knowledge that the problem was at all due to defective manufacturing. As an individual consumer we have no rights in this matter to eliminate this manufacturers safety defect while mb restricts and monopolizes the repair of a problem that they created. The failure of this part can happen at any time regardless of vehicle miles.
