Hi,

We have a 2010 ML350 and in the middle of shifting from park to reverse and into drive, the Gear Shifter came off and made it impossible to move the car back into park. Has anyone else had this problem or heard of it?!?! MB is claiming that we caused the damage so the warranty does not cover the problem.

We also have an E-Class that, like the ML, has the gear shift behind the steering wheel (as opposed to in the middle console) and have never had any problems. Can you imagine having the shifter come apart while driving?

The whole thing is so incredible I can't articulate it correctly. Would appreciate any insight/advice/known defect or any guidance at all.

Thanks in advance.
