problem #1

May 152007

E-430 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Mercedes Benz E-320. The cup holder located near the gear shift when holding cold substances sweats and the liquid leaks into the electronics of the gear shift. While driving 35mph, the leaking in the cup holder blew out the brains of the transmission and locked the back wheels on May 16, 2007. The engine will start; however, when the gas pedal is engaged the vehicle will not move forward (accelerate). The vehicle just stopped suddenly with no prior warning. The engine size is not available. The current and failure mileage were 69000.
