slipping out of gear into i guess neutral while accelerating,restarting solves

I don't think this vehicle was ever offered with manual transmission, I wish it was!

thank you for that ,it almost seems like a fail safe device that's over reacting,but i tend to hope and agree with that's its electrical due to the fact that when the computer reboots it goes back to normal,however i don't have to be shifting for the problem to occur.Any significant acceleration and then letting off the gas causes it ,seems less sensitive if i am actually in a lower gear although the going into neutral problem will still and ultimately occur. It a nightmare going to my local dealer ,that whole philosophy about being able to afford this car gives the dealer the right to take you to the bank for all repairs, Whats scary is that this site is recommending good year auto.any thing on this car other than maybe an oil change at a place like that in my opinion is a complete waste of time. i know full blown auto mechanics that want nothing to do with this vehicle!!

Shift assembly has electronic controls in it that can cause this symptom , i think.

There are 38,000 miles on this vehicle thank you for your reply it sounds to me like it's going to be very expensive to fix and my correct in assuming that. How would a problem like that be able to correct itself just by restarting the car

I would get codes read first. Most likely gear mismatch codes. Second, I would take a sample of the transmission fluid. If it looks and smells like burnt fluid, you have your answer. If I remember correctly, Mercedes offered rebuilt transmissions for 3k. We do ours in house.

Okay thanks I wish you were closer the dealer I use is going to enjoy this, Haven't found anybody around me in New York other than the dealer that knows how to fix this car with any honesty

Unfortunately, all v12 benzes come with their host of issues as they get older. Especially ABC suspension, transmissions and Coilpacks. We see so many v12 benzes, we keep coil packs in stock.
