Noticed a couple of times with gearbox on car that it was hesitant or actualy jumped at times, well yesterday while waiting at the lights it went one better. Gap in traffic & flashed through i accelerated only for car to do nothing, lifted a bit & tried again nothing, then all of a sudden it set off like a rocket. Narrowly avoided other cars and a wall, Mercedes garage (which is 100yrds from where i was) said they could not touch it till next week & to call breakdown. Breakdown confirmed gearbox issues & we drove it the 100 yrds to the dealer. They have now confirmed a problem although they dont know what, and are awaiting go ahead to work on it. For the time being im now in a A180 courtesy car, anyone else have any similar problems??

 

i didn't BUT i did notice on occasion the lack of thrust when going uphill as though it rides the clutch a lot, then all of a sudden you go... bit dangerous i have to admit as you feel like a Learner driver shooting out at junctions LOL..

Sell it and get a Mini

 

More info on the car might help.

 

Title explain Model

Merc A45

 

Ok missed the other marques.

 

Has it been modified? Could this be putting strain on the gearbox?

 

Cars standard, mercedes technical still dont know whats up with the car, although they have confirmed there are issues.....
