Mercedes E220 Cdi Auto W212
Mercedes W212 E220 pops out of first and reverse gear at low speed

I have a Mercedes 2012 E220 CDI auto W212.

My car occasionally pops out off 1st gear and reverse gear at low speed. (Goes to neutral then straight into P) If you accelerate it normally changes gear and drives fine. Mechanics seem to be puzzled and some say it's the Gearbox but others say change the oil or it might be the gear selector switch. Anyone have any idea what it can be or have had the same issue/experience please let me know.

Is there any error code? Could be TCM (Trans Control Module)?
