I was at the dealer and while chatting with the salesman about the CLS63 gearbox and the awkwardness of park/reverse, he told me one of the salesman there thought it was in park and backed through the glass showroom window!

I can easily see how that would happen

I guess the salesman wanted to rev the engine, huh?!

Steinhart

yeah, those glass panes are enormous, not to mention the damage to the car

there must be a video


yeah, always double check u are in P, sometimes the button needs to be pressed hard

worst is when u still have eco on, and u are creeping into the garage and u think u pressed P but the damn engine did the on off crap, and u take your foot off brake thinking your done and the car comes back alive

Steinhart

exactly...

my son was driving, parking the car in the garage, he was going slow, being careful making short stops, the car kept going off/on, it was a little hazardous, he's like Dad, what is wrong with your car? lol

I drive in S mode

vdubpower

yep, wife didnt like the feature in the beginning neither, nor now

Always make sure to have a visual on the lighted P before releasing the brake.

damn! that guy felt terrible no doubt, wonder why there's no video?

Steinhart

I don't think anyone expected it to happen, hence no video, that I know of, maybe a video of the damage somewhere I'm sure, but the salesman who told me has been there for 25+ years, I think it was one of the younger guys, anyway it was probably all covered by insurance, however not his job.... ouch
