Transmission not shifting?
Have noticed if I am going down an incline at 30 MPH for about 1/2 mile and then get on level streets, the transmission doesn't shift to a higher gear as it used to.
It seems that last time even when I used paddle shifters to shift up, the indicator showed a higher gear, but it didn't seem like it.
Have read that there are problems with the 722.9 NAG2 (7G-Tronic) transmissions, but not sure which I have. The Data Card shows 722906 02 473909 for a 2010 E350 with Oct. 2009 build date.
Haven't really noticed it in my other driving.
Thanks!

I'll add to this with a general observation that may, or may not, be relevant:
My experience is that the so-called "transmission learning" may not be helpful at all.
Over the 4.5 years of my 2011, I have on multiple occasions complained of hard (fear of damage) shifts when going up a gentle rise. No fault is ever found, of course, but usually the transmission is reset to default and the problem is gone. Then, over the months, the damn thing "learns" my driving and starts pounding the transmission again!!! I then go through the same cycle with service. I'm sure this would be different for each individual driver.
I wish I could get a reset and then turn off "learning!"

Thanks Konigstiger.
My '14 E250 (40K miles) had the intermittent PB warning lamp issue, which I never seen, but the wife did a few times. Of course I blamed it on her touching the PB somehow. Anyway, my dealer did work on it and replaced the relay as indicated. Still testing this fixed, since it was an interment issue.
Interesting enough the service tech also has a '14 E350 which he also stated his wife noticed this issue, yet he never had. Guess we got to trust our wives a bit better when they tell us the strange happenings and gremblem's

Yes, not certain why they issued another bulletin rather than revision but looks like they added designo trim and clean point 8/11 validation (claim vehicles produced 8/11 > are equipped with modified trim).
This bulletin applies to your vehicle – within VIN range & datacard includes 873 (seat heater for left/ right front seats) have dealer check it.

Interesting
I had a couple of cars where the CD would go back to the start of current song when you started the car. That was nice as you did not start in the middle of a song.
