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.

Hey peds doc, I went though the same issue with my ML. They could never duplicate the problem, and then they would say it was because of the cold, hot and it was learning the way I drive.... All BS if you ask me.
Make sure you keep a record of all this and dates. I took a lot to get MB to realize I was not joking. As sad as it is, letters after the name matters.
I told them as first my issues w/o using MD, PhD. I never got an answer back. When I told them I was being asked daily at the hospital how i liked my ML and then singed my email/letters MD, PhD I got calls in the matters of 30min.
