Car shakes from N to D (C230 Auto only)

This problem has been happening on my car for a long time. When I shift from N to D in winter mode, I feel the car shakes very badly. It feels like I am hit at the back by the other car. I just drop off my car to the dealer today, and fortunately they can find out the problem. The only thing is that they need to compare with another C230 to see whether this is a normal situation or now. Does anyone experience this problem?

Sound like this is a recurring problem with no fix... if this keeps up you may try to have them buy back your vehicle under the lemon law. Check out the site:

My car does that too when I let go the the brake too early.
Nowadays I shift from N to D and hold my brake for second or two to give some time so that gears can engage properly.
Try that.
