Strange Happening

While driving on the freeway on my way to LA this morning my car suddenly lost power. It was like I was running on 4 cylinders and something strange happened to the transmission as it would not shift up or down. I pulled off the freeway and the car almost stopped but I was a mile from a MB dealer and I limped there. When I turned off the motor and started the car again everything was back to normal. I needed to be in LA so I didn't even speak with anyone at the dealership, I just got back on the freeway and everything was fine. No problem driving home either. Anyone had this experience or something similar? Will there be a record in the computer that my dealer will be able to access? Thanks.

P.S. There are five 03 CL55's siting at the House of Imports in case any of you out there are looking. They should be dealing.

Sounds like the tranny fell into its 'limp home mode' ...


I would have the dealer pull the DTC's and see if any of them will yield any information.

Sounds like some kind of German Joke.
