One problem related to automatic transmission has been reported for the 2000 Mercedes Benz S Class. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
S430 sedan mercedes_benz 2000, when stopping the car the shifter would not release from park ,causing the driver stuck on a freeway 215 in las vegas due to an accident in front . The troopers told everyone to turn off their cars as there was a 1 hour wait. Stuck at a in/out burger place drive up window, causing disrruption to buisness and traffic behind. 3. Stuck at home (luckily) neede to be dollied towed to dealer. Advised by techs as well as service advisors that this was not uncommon for 2000-2002 s cars and that most techs and mangement knows about it. So they need a campaign to fix these cars and not stick it to the customer as this is in my opinion a safety issue. My vehicle is service by an authorized mb dealership fletcher-jones imports in las vegas where the vehicle sits now.
