One problem related to automatic transmission has been reported for the 2001 Mercedes Benz C Class. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
April Nov 2004, I purchased a 2001 c240 mercedes from princeton mercedes in new jersey. One month after driving the car slowed down as if it would not accelerated. I had to take it back in for repair. They told they could not find a problem. However 4/19/08 I experienced the same problem of deceleration while driving I was told this time that it was transmission control unit. I have been researching and I believed that this was the problem 4 years ago; however they did not was to correct the problem. I want to know was there a recall for this specific transmission control unit on these types of cars. I have been in several chat rooms and there are various complaints regarding this type of problem. The car will stop in traffic or on the freeway without notice. At the time of the incident I was able to pull over to a gas station: however what would happen if there was major traffic bumper to bumper. I want this problem researched. I believed that mercedes knew about a flaw with this transmission control unit.
