One problem related to automatic transmission floor shift has been reported for the 2000 Mercedes Benz M Class. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving, some tea spilled onto my shifter. Moments later while merging into high speed traffic, my car would not shift out of low gear. I had to swerve onto the side of the road to avoid being hit from behind. This minor spillage of herbal tea distorted my shifter resulting in $788. 25 worth of damage. I want to petition NHTSA to investigate what I consider a serious design flaw in my 2000 mercedes ml320. What if I had been driving on a highway and this happened?.
