diesel

Recently I have gone through a problem on my 2005 C200 CDI (Automatic). Not everytime, but some times, the car doesn´t change any gears. The PRND in the dashboard won´t show any indicator on what gear the car is, the C/S modality won´t work, and the car will be stuck in first gear, even in Park...
