Power Train problem #3

My car goes abruptly into park while driving or reversing at 5 mph or less. This is a big safety concern if it ever suddenly stalls in a highway, I may get into a life threatening accident. There are no warning or sensor lights that light up when this happens. I have taken it to the Mercedes Benz dealer who said it was a shift module error which I paid to fix and not even two weeks later the same problem persisted.

The key is not recognized in the electronic ignition switch, the vehicle cannot be started and/or the automatic transmission may go into park at speeds below 6 km/h.
