ISSUE 1. DURING UPSHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT GEARS 3 & 4, THERE IS A JERKING MOVEMENT.NOT A SMOOTH SHIFT LIKE THE OTHER GEARS. I HAVE RESEARCHED VARIOUS BENZ OWNERS BLOGS, I SEE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUE GOING BACK TO 2008. LETTER TO MBUSA, THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM. ISSUE 2. WHEN GOING UP OR DOWN A SHALL INCLINE WITH CLEAR LANE MARKINGS, THE CAR TENDS TO APPLY THE BREAKS, WITH A WARNING SIGN APPEARING ON THE SCREEN INSIDE. COULD THIS BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT BREAKS WITHOUT ANY WARNING HAVE WRITTEN TO MBUSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL
