Car will put itself in park while in traffic at slow speeds.I was on the highway coming up on a stoplight that was red before I could stop the car put itself in park at the same time the light was turning green which almost caused me to be hit from behind
Safety features become limited or inoperable during operation of vehicle. Taken to dealership, control module replaced. Does not fix issue. All pre-safe functions become inoperarable under this failure. Multiple online forums report same issue. Mercedes seems aware of problem, but not acknowleding their responsibility to recall or find root of issue.
