This Problem Across All Years
This vehicle has a transmission control module defect. While driving, the car cuts off unexpectedly and prevents shifting gears, creating a serious safety risk that could easily cause an accident. A certified Mercedes-Benz dealer diagnosed the problem and confirmed it is an internal defect—one that cannot be prevented by regular maintenance or proper care of the vehicle. Because this is an internal issue, Mercedes-Benz should take immediate responsibility to repair it, rather than delaying or shifting accountability.

My Car's warranty expired in Dec 2022 and a few months later the engine light came on. It stayed on for a few weeks than was turned off by itself. In Dec 2023, the engine light came back on again. I also noted jerks when driving slow (10 miles/h). Upon checking with Mercedes Benz of Tri Cities-Richland, WA, spending $400 on diagnostics, the staff quoted me $3500 for Crank Case Ventilation replacement. This is a really expensive part/labor and it is ridiculous that Mercedes does a poor job! A quick online search proved that this issue is pretty common in MBenz models, there should definitely be a recall. This is inconvenient and appropriate actions should be undertaken against this.

In July 2022 I was a few miles from my home when the cluster starting showing warning lights. It started scrolling inoperative power brakes, inoperative steering and inoperative parking. Also the cluster was completely lit up. I turned the car around and put it in my garage. This is where the issues really started. The car would not go into park or turn off. I sat with my foot on the brake for 30 minutes trying to continue turning the car off or put in park. I finally had my wife take the key and walk 1/8 mile away before the care would turn off. I had the car flat bedded to Mercedes of Cherry Hill. They had the car for several days. They called me and asked if the car was flooded or hit. I told them no to either. I explained how the car is garage kept. I was talking to my mechanic who services the car and started telling him the story. Before I could say anything he asked me if they asked me if the car was flooded? I said how did you know that? He told me that he has several customers with similar issues with the wiring harness in the front bumper. He told me that it's a bad design where water gets in and burns the harness out. The scary issue is the car not turning off or going into park. If my wife who drives the car was by her self had this issue what would she do?

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN TRAVELLING AT LOW SPEEDS OR STOP THE CAR TO HALT ABLE TO HEAR A NOISE FROM THE REAR END. LIKE A METAL HITTING ANOTHER METAL. IT HAS BEEN ONLY 1 MONTH I BOUGHT THE CAR AND 1300MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS MAKING REALLY LOUD NOISE WHEN STOPPED AND HEAR IT PROPERLY. IT IS MAKING CLING CLING NOISE. I REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I ALMOST OBSERVE EVERYDAY.
