Question CLK 430 Transmission problem

Hello friends,

Recently I faced a problem regard to my transmission:

When I start the car I can not change the gear from P (Park) to any other states (It's look like it had been locked); also ABS & ESP lights are on. But after about 15 minutes that engine works (the radiator temperature will be reach near 80 F), every thing get normal and transmission get to work normally and lights will be gone.

I was wondering what is the problem and if anybody else faced the same problem.

Thanks,

Have somebody see if your brake lights are working, sounds like the switch. Very well covered topic here.

would seem that there are a few of us suffering the same problem.

Does your gear indicator in the dash show the gear selected or a blank ??
