When you pick it up, make sure you find out exactly what they did. Intercooler hose/clamp replacement or repair should be mentioned - be suspect if it is not. BTW, what was your build date? I am continually amazed at how many 320 owners are having this problem. Wouldn't it make sense to correct this at Vance and eliminate the warranty repair/tow payments. This has to be a major known issue for MB.Steve Birge said:
Transmission problems with our new GL320
I posted this on the MBworld forum also:
I picked up our week old GL320 yesterday from the dealer after dropping it off for service and the tranny still downshifts too early. The 3-2, and 2-1 downshifts occur too early and induce engine breaking.
According to the work order the code they used to try to resolve the problem was:
T-B-27.60/62E
I also had a major transmission clunk yesterday just after picking it up from the dealer while driving in stop and go traffic at about 25 mph. As I recall, it happened as I gently rolled on the throttle after coasting for a bit.
I am so impressed with this vehicle, yet this is putting a damper on it. The downshifts are totally unnacceptable. It's not something minor that I can ignore. At this point I'm not sure what to do except tell the dealer about it and hope they have another update for the electronics to try.
