Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My transmission intermittently goes into low gear while driving at freeway speeds. The car suddenly slows down without the brake lights to warn traffic behind me. If I pull over & turn the engine off & back on, the transmission will shift gears normally for a few days. The mercedes dealer says there is no problem & no other cars do this. Now the check engine light is on & the transmission won't change gears at all. Now the dealer says the transmission must be replaced for $6500. …”
