My vehicle jerks back and forth at low acceleration, and it often goes into limp mode which makes the vehicle only drive at around 20 mph at most. I was on the highway, when this happened. I have a 722.9 transmission, and this is a common problem. Why is the snapping recalled" I have had a checked with Mercedes-Benz of music City when I had gotten my recall work done, and they said that it just needs a whole new transmission. They said that they had never seen an issue like this. They want $16,000. I have been reading and reading and reading I don't know how they have not seen the issue when it's very very common. Again my question is, why has this not been recalled? There are soldering issues for a speed solenoid sensor, and the TCU it makes it go bad. What is going on, and why has this issue not been addressed" I have two toddlers that I drive in my vehicle every single day. God forbid we're not so lucky next time. The only reason why we did not get hit this time, is because we were on the highway at a slow hour of the day. My son is disabled and we are on the highway and in the car a whole lot. If this happens during rush hour, we will be no doubt smacked into by another vehicle.

Takata recall. When we were ready to trade our vehicle, the dealer took about $6000 off of it's trade in value because it had a takata air bag in it and a replacement bag was unavailable to remedy the issue. The dealer was unable to put the vehicle on their lot, it had to be sold at auction. I feel we should be reimbursed this financial loss we suffered due to takata's inferior product.

Fuel line tear causing me to lose control. When stopped fuel was running from under my vehicle, covered motor and all over car. Luckily it is a blue tec mercede not a gas. Very frightening. Driving 55 miles per hour highway. No smell that I remember, just loss of control steering. I thought it was a power steering problem.
