Gear box problem W213
When I start the car in electric mode I try to put the gear to D, it will automatically jump to neutral. If I continue to flick the gear lever several times, the car will start in D3. If I start in gasoline mode everything is ok .
Can somebody help me whit suggestions what is the problem?

OP, you might want to post your thread in this sub-forum instead.https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w213-208/
As that is the sub-forum dedicated to your specific model, W213. Perhaps forum members there can answer your question better, you are currently posting in the EQA sub-forum, different model and vehicle altogether.

It sounds like your W213’s gearbox isn’t engaging properly when running in electric mode, could be a sensor, software glitch, or the gear selector itself acting up. Best bet is to have the dealer or a trusted Mercedes specialist run a diagnostic on the hybrid system before it turns into a bigger (and pricier) problem.
