Mercedes dealer changes control valve...all electronics...ran for 3-4 weeks and started same malfunctions...would not shift 3-4 gear and no power...slippage.

I was coming off an express ramp to enter onto another highway, when to accelerate and nothing happen. Car seemed to be stuck in gear and not want to go. Pulled over to the side and turn off the car. It seem to reengage after it was restart and I continued on. Mercedes dealer changed a number of things in the transmission, ran for 3 to 4 week after approximately 800 mile same malfunction occurred. Dealer can't seem to find code problem wants me to come and get the car. Not fixed. Very scary.
