Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz C280 owners report experiencing transmission slipping issues, particularly after a recent replacement with limited warranty remaining. Common causes identified include low fluid levels, problems with the torque converter, or general transmission malfunctions. Owners are advised to check the transmission fluid levels, as topping them up may resolve the slipping. Given the limited warranty, it's recommended to consult the warranty provider or the dealership for potential coverage of diagnosis and repairs. Regular maintenance and adherence to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule are also emphasized as preventive measures. If the slipping persists, a professional inspection by a mechanic or dealership is suggested to accurately diagnose and address the issue.
