We have a great privately owned appliance store right up the road and they matched HD’s OTD price when I used them. They don’t charge for delivery but HD does.

Anyway...since I am O -, I looked up when the donation center is open in my town. It's on Tuesdays from noon to 6 pm! That's it! No wonder there is a shortage.

Close to 8 years of Jag ownership, for you doubting Terry-Thomas', and only one big electronic issue; covered under warranty with loaner car. No issues out of warranty. Not a perfect car, but my experience allows me to recommend Jag! YMMV.

We are both O- so, naturally, our kids are too. I used to occasionally get a phone call to go donate. I haven't had a call for many years. Our local unit is sort of a mess.

If/when I go again, I’ll have to give a fake number.

The story notes that there has also been litigation in the US and Australia. Remarkable how Ford left this thing fester for so long. Perhaps they deemed it unfixable internally. One wonders how it made it through the development and testing process.

I too wonder how a problem like that could make it to market without someone raising a flag.

I believe it was cheaper for Ford to keep dragging their feet on it than to replace it with a “normal” transmission and the associated cost of that. The issue really was terrible. It would wind out, clunk, shift hard, surge....just a whole host of issues. When my son first bought the car, the dealer said it was a “learning transmission” and would smooth out once he drove it a little more. If anything, it became worse.
I told him I’d walk him through the “lemon law” buyback (which he most certainly would have won), but he saw how much and how long it took me to do that and decided just to dump it and take the loss. He only had it 2-3 years.

With that said, the car was pretty nice too. Forgive my failing memory, isn't @abacomike driving an S class these days?
Yes! That was the real reason for the posting.
The leather seats on a fine MB with only app 15k miles seems to be showing WEAR. I think this is another reason why I like the “MB tex” vinyl type upholsteries. I’ve seen 120,000 miles, 82,,000 miles, 65,000 miles on vinyl upholstery & it’s not too much different from new.

I am with you about MB Tex, it wears like iron, just keep it clean and it barely ages, one can find junkyard MBs with clean interiors.

My 97’ Chrysler had a recall for the same thing but I never got it fixed because I’m not, you know, stupid. I always put my cars in park before I turn off the engine. Unfortunately one of my son’s friends was less intelligent and knocked the car in gear while parked and it rolled into his garage door. In retrospect I should have got it fixed.

Hey, maybe I'm just not a Mercedes person

Don't knock it until you have tried it.

Like I was taught, think of the stupidest thing the other guy can do, and then be prepared, because he will probably do it.

Back in the 60s every car could do that. I remember a bunch of jokers going to their friend’s house across the street one night and pulling the shift lever into neutral and rolling his Buick into the road. Caused a lot of commotion as cars started honking at the apparently abandoned vehicle sideways in the street.

Is there anything you could really leave out?
btw...now 2 out of 3 of our cars are out of warranty, and mine will be in another year

If you don’t put a lot of miles on your cars I’d probably go with the calendar schedule rather than the mileage. Seems like a lot of money for what you listed. Since they’re out of warranty why not look into an indie shop?

If you want to keep the GLK, you might as well have the service done.
Cheaper than buying a new one.
You might get a hard lesson on depreciation.
