problem #2

Jul 202006

E320

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles
Spilled small amount (2 oz maximum) of liquid from cup holder onto shifter console while braking. Car was immediately disabled. It was stuck in 2nd gear. Dealer tells me and I have subsequently verified on various Mercedes owner forums that this is a significant design flaw with this car that should be covered as warranty. Repair cost was over $1000. Most expensive two ounces of fluid I have ever seen. I report this because it is a very widespread problem that many people have encountered. Mb is deliberately trying to keep this quiet.
