“On 2/27/22 when I pressed the start button the digital panel tripped off. All the warning messages were on and no response. No start. When the dealer of MB of Pembroke Pines made a diagnostics they Said that the transmission software don’t communicate with the CPU of the system. This is serious safety issue because what if is happened while the car is running in a highway? Or in an intersection? I’m scare.”
