07 - G500 "Stuck In Park"
Hey Everyone,
I'm having an issue with my 07' G500. This morning I get up to drive the car. The car starts and everything, I just can't move it from park to drive because the shifter won't shift. Its stuck really hard. I press the brakes in effort to see if that would make a difference but it is stuck. I've been reading a long in the forums to see what the cause of the issue is and apparently it has to do with a switch or a small plastic part that may have broke? Its funny though because the car hasn't been driven at all this past weekend and the only thing unusual that occured last night was a huge rainstorm that brought heavy rains and wind but I doubt that could cause anything to the happen to the shifter. Any thoughts and ideas on how I could at least get the car to drive manually so I can bring it to the dealer? I believe it is still under warranty. Thanks In Advance!

It happen to me. The job is a pain. I had to dismantle the center console and things to take out the shifter, dissasamble it, grease it and back again. I did fix it, but unless you have tools, time and patience do it, if not and is in warranty, call MB is their mess. Going to try to put some photos curtesy of another MB owner that send them to me when I had the problem
