2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Electrical System Problems

THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE MAIN FUSE BOX CHART.

My car has this issue that when I am slowing down it will automatically shift to park and will not let me shift to drive until I turn the car off and on. When rolling to a stop, I've had a few instances where the car shifts to park and the car behind me almost hits me due to the car shifting on its own and not allowing me to proceed with the flow of traffic. This puts not only me, but the person behind me at risk. I took the car to a mechanic and he stated that there was no recall for this issue but that I should contact you (NHTSA). The mechanic stated that the component that might be failing is the electrical ignition switch, basically telling the car that there is no key in the ignition. There are no warning lights or any other indication. This has happened to me a multiple times. When this happens, since I am not at a complete stop, it shifts to park and grinds my transmission. This causes the car to abruptly stop without having my foot on the brake to warn the drivers behind me.

THE VEHICLE SLAMS ITSELF INTO PARK WHEN MOVING UNDER 5MPH. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE ABOUT 75-80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS ITSELF INTO PARK AT SPEEDS BELOW 5MILES PER HOUR. IT DOES THIS WHEN THE CAR IS VERY HOT. IT LITERARILY PUTS ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE THE CAR IS STILL MOVING.

THE ELECTRONIC KEY FAILS TO RECOGNIZE KEY. VEHICLE DOES NOT START, DOES NOT TURN OFF ONCE STARTED, AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO PARK (P) AT SPEEDS BELOW 6MPH. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING INTO DRIVEWAY AT SHOPPING CENTER, PARKING SPOT, AND MULTIPLE TIMES IN RESTRAUNT PARKING LOT. IT ALSO OCCURED AT A STOP SIGN ANS STOP LIGHT. THE START STOP ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR, DESPITE DEALER SERVICE AND THE SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE BEGAN A FEW WEEKS BACK.

2010 MERCEDES BENZ E350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *SMD THE DEALER TESTED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS GOOD, BUT FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE EVAP BLOWER AND INSTALLED A NEW ENGINE FAN AFTER TWO DAYS OF ANALYSIS. ON MAY 19, 2014, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, FOR A SECOND TIME, AND AGAIN THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY, THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE CABIN LIGHT WAS LEFT ON CAUSING THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED. ON MAY 20, 2014, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START RIGHT AWAY, SO HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. HE IS CURRENTLY WAITING FOR ANOTHER ANALYSIS.

A PINT OF ORANGE JUICE SPILLED ON THE FLOOR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. IT WAS CLEANED UP, BUT APPARENTLY SOME OF THE JUICE WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE UNPROTECTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT FLOOR WELL. THIS CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. ACTUAL BURN MARKS IN THE WIRING NEAR THE HARNESS CONNECTOR ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO FIRE, AND THE ONLY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS THAT THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT EVENTUALLY CAME ON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES E-CLASS. THE CONTACT WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS ABOUT TO BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SO HE TRIED TO ACTIVATE THE HORN WHICH DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TURNED ON AT THE TIME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE HORN WOULD NOT FUNCTION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 7,800. UPDATED 12/29/10 *BF UPDATED 04/06/11
