New Battery Troubles
Purchased a new battery, old one left me stranded in Connecticut! Went to PEP Boys (Yeah I know) Never do that again,.....only place open a time with Bosch Battery... Ok I had battery installed, now my ML has loss of power and hesitation during hard acceleration and won't upshift without a couple of good stomps on the throttle, any ideas, feels like transmission is out of sync, is this possible? I know I had to re-enter security code for MCS. going to Mechanic tomorrow.

took it to the mechanic and he reset all codes but is still hesitates a little until engine is warmed up to operating temp then it runs normal.
