I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 C230 AUTOMATIC AND I AM NOT 100% CONVINCED MY CAR DRIVES NORMAL. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DURING THE FIRST FEW SECONDS I FEEL A "JERK MOTION" AS IF I WERE CHANGING THE GEARS MANUALLY. ALSO SOMETIME WHEN I BRAKE I FEEL THE SAME MOTION WHEN IT GETS UNDER 10 MPH. HONESTLY IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND I'M BUMMED OUT BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE THIS CAR. IS THIS NORMAL OR SHOULD I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER?? PLEASE ADVISE..

Hate to say it my friend but take it right back to the dealer for troubleshooting, sounds to mee like a tranny problem.

3 posts within 3 minutes (?:23 - ?:26). And in the last one you had to scream again.

Is there anything you would like to tell us; like frustration or ......

P.S.

I merged your threads. No reason to start another scream session for the same problem.

Ryanr317 · 10-04-2006, 10:13 PM

I think it's the 7spd tranny. They all seem to do that.

advans · 10-04-2006, 11:03 PM

If you can cancel the sale! and possibly Order the 07 instead. you get the amg exhaust!

Onizuka · 10-05-2006, 12:12 AM

My 06 C230 jerks a bit in the first gear sometimes too. I think it's the 7speed tranny. Recently, that jerk seems to have disappear. My car is at around 10000km right now.

thanks guys! I have been hearing that it is something common with this model. I really appreciate the feedback.
