20251024UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The transmission intermittently shifts hard. When accelerating the car hesitates badly then lurches forward. The Dealer verified the concern, the transmission as a hard shift from 1-2nd. They performed various procedures to the hardware, but ultimately determined the problem is the software and that this is a known issue to Mercedes since early in the year. They have not been able to resolve the software issue. This creates a major safety hazard: 1. When changing lanes, the hesitation does not allow for proper acceleration creating a timing issue which could result in a collision 2. When crossing over lanes on a turn, the vehicle has stopped at a time, not accelerated and left me in the middle of oncoming traffic.
20231124POWER TRAIN
There is a constant acceleration failure where the car does not respond. Again today I was almost in a bad crash due to this. It is a known issue to many owners in Mercedes forums. It happens in any drive mode. Eco comfort sport. Extremely dangerous and the car should be recalled.
