When I drove my vehicle at low speed and came to stop, the vehicle jolted by moving forward. I believed this was caused by jerky transmission, and there was a bug in the software that controlled the transmission. I talked to a service guy at my dealership about this, and he told me that there was no fix at this time, awaiting an answer from mercedes benz.
