Tranny updates
Those of you with autos should be seeing a recall or need to see your dealers.
My tranny failed at 800 miles!!! They put in a new valve body assembly. Now they want to updated it again because they say they have a new updated valve body assembly. Mine worked better but I knew it was not right. Sometimes while coming to a stop the car leaps forward like your foot slipped off the clutch in a manual. Not good. Now they want to put a new engine in also. I want my car replaced or my money back. I would prefer a new car but either is fine at this point. If its my money back I will never buy another MB product. I have an appointment with the MB zone rep. on Monday to dicuss.
Finally someone from MB is actully going to talk with me. Fire a flare. I bit too late in my opinion. Good luck all.
