The transmission locks up intermittently & won't up shift. The transmission will suddenly go into low gear while driving on the highway. This is a very dangerous situation and mercedes-benz says they don't have a problem with the transmission. A independent mercedes-benz repair shop said this is a common problem that all the 7 speed transmissions are doing. Mercedes-benz will not pay for the repair and they say they won't sell the internal transmission parts to independent service providers. They force the customer to go to their authorized dealer and pay for the repair. This is wrong!.

Took my car in, it would not go into reverse, then the engine was winding out really hi on the tachometer, mercedes said it was the valve body module in transmission, ok- then they told me my engine balance shaft was not working and the labor was 5628. 00 they have not yet quoted me a price on the parts for either issue. Said the engine will just seize up when driving, I looked this up on internet and there seems to be a class action suit going on with this balance shaft issue. Is this a safety issue they overlooked possibly ? miles as low as 62k having same issue. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

For investigation on the Mercedes Benz 2000 Slk. Vehicle to mb dealership repeatedly since purchased new, for a problem with hard/full throttle acceleration. When fully depressing the accelerator, on occasion the car will backfire or hesitate, or almost stall until the accelerator is released. The problem appears to be directly related to the activation of the turbo-charger (kompressor). A check of the service records for the VIN number reveals that the problem goes back to 10/25/04 when the O2 sensor was replaced. That same senor was replaced on 05/24/07. The problem was again reported to and diagnosed by a dealer hyannis MA on 06/21/07 during a trip to cape cod after it occurred on the interstate driving from va to cape cod. Upon return to va, the mass air flow sensor was replaced to correct the problem on 07/03/07. The same problem was again reported on 01/30/07 where it was corrected as an air intake hose problem. The problem was again reported and "corrected" on 11/09/07 . The problem was again reported and corrected by replacing the air mass sensor yet again! on 07/30/08. This time it had occurred in the interstate on ramp acceleration lane almost causing an accident due to unexpected lack of acceleration performance. The problem again occurred on 09/08/08 during full acceleration again. It should be noted here that I hold a master of science degree in safety, from the university of southern California. I am also very familiar with the nhsta safety defect reporting/investigation system and the data base related to safety recalls and tsbs. John b. Pratt maj (USA ret).
