This is a new 7-G Electronic shifter. I am sure not everyone get used to it. We are not blaming the car for its inability. It is something that MB should have it nicely done just like the E class or other higher grade model. I doubt that you understand the keyless go thing on the GL compare to another models.

I don't understand why this is going on and on. Shift the car in park and then turn off the engine. Who turns their car off while the car is in drive? Put the car in park like everyone else does and be done with this. It is this type of "let me see what happens" stuff that causes trouble for everyone.

I have also had a couple of occasions where I reshifted into D while rolling because I meant to clean my windshield. My Lexus has the wiper stalk on the right almost exactly where the shifter stalk is on the GL. Fortunately for me, I push down to turn on the wipers rather than up. I'd have an expensive tranny repair bill if I shifted into reverse while rolling!

Am I missing something? What's the problem? It's not like a car with a regular transmission shifter lever will go to P by itself if you turn off the engine. Just put it in P before you shut off the engine.

Wow, what a small world, I know the owner of the Mexico Blue 997S in the photo! I recognized the serial# on the EVOMS supercharger kit. That particular setup is for a 997S but they do have a kit for a 996.
