transmission problems
my 2007 mercedes r350 won't shift into 2nd gear. check engine light is on. can't drive it to get a diagnostic check. can drive in 1st gear only. does a rough shift from park to drive.

Sounds like it is in "limp in mode". Unless you are able to scan the computer yourself to check which code is set, you will need to get it towed to a repair facility.

My research shows that in limp mode, the vehicle will jump into 3rd gear and stay there. Mine is stuck in first.. And that only these Mercedes models have limp mode:
- Mercedes C-class cars
- Mercedes A-class cars
- Mercedes ML-class cars
- Mercedes Sprinter vans

Don't forget that the R class shares most of the running gear from the ML.
