Transmission of 2004 S600
Has anyone had the transmission of S600 or 500 kickout of gear as the car downshifts and go to neutral, allthough the gear shift is in drive? Please let me know. The dealer has never heard of that, Amazingly enough it has happened on another car of mine 2003 SL55.
Thanks

The transmission used in 2004 S430s and 2004 S600s are totally different.
2004 S430s are equipped with a 7-speed automatic or 5 speed automatic for 4-matic models
2004 S600s are equipped with a 5-speed automatic (different from S430 4-matic)

If any of these cars are under warranty I'm surprised that the dealer wil let you leave the lot. To me it can be a safety issue. I'm thinking of coming down some of the mountains in my area....slow down and have it shift into neutral? I think that would be a little unnerving!

If it was me I would definitely approach MB claiming it is a safety issue. I think normally the safety parts of a car...seat belts and such are under a 5 yr warranty. I once got Chrysler to replace a speedometer under the 5 yr. safety warranty. (They had put the wrong gearing in so that the speedometer read 5 mph too slow).

what unit inside the transmission? I am past 50k mi warranty, if this is a safety issue, would it be fixed free under some safety warranty, etc.?
