| RE: CLS500 Transmission problems anyone?
Since I purchased my CLS500 in January, I have also had problems with the transmission. It intermittently downshifts with a substantial jerk between 7-10 mph. It seems to occur more frequently when it is cold outside and when the vehicle is cold. It has now been at the dealership for 8 days in the last two weeks, and they are no closer to a solution. (Of course, they say that they can't duplicate the problem). Initially, they reprogrammed the adaptive transmission and put more transmission fluid in it with absolutely no change in performance. Now MB tech support is telling them to put a new transmission 1st generation valve body cover on it. I am not overly optimistic. If ANYONE has had any luck with some kind of solution, I would greatly appreciate it. Since this is my first MB (after 4 Lexus vehicles), I am beginning to wonder if I have made a terrible mistake.
