problem #3

Jun 082007

ML320 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Stop and go traffic in worm weather causes front brakes to heat up and drag constantly to the point of causing the transmission to shift down and eventually stop the car completely. After about an hour of cooling down, it will behave normally. Dealer and a specialty shop can not find anything wrong. This problem started in the summer of 2005, four incidents since, the last one on the date indicated.
