C350

  • 107,000 miles
On Tuesday, January 16, I parked my vehicle on level ground at a shopping center and it rolled backwards out of the parking space and nearly hit a pedestrian. I had to press the brakes to stop the vehicle. I then pulled back into the space and put the vehicle in park again and the vehicle rolled backward out of the parking space. I repeated the sequence a third time and the vehicle rolled a little and stopped on its own. I immediately contacted Mercedes of annapolis and the service person explained that the gears work on an electronic system and the issue was a 'fluke.' The next day, the same thing happened with my vehicle. This time I paralleled parked, placed my vehicle in park and it rolled forward. I had to apply the brakes to keep from hitting the vehicle in front of mine. I backed up my vehicle and placed the vehicle in park and it rolled forward again. I did it a third time and the vehicle came to an abrupt and jerky stop.
