The contact owns a 2007 Mercedes Benz GL450. While driving approximately 40 mph, the transmission seized and the vehicle abruptly came to a halt. The service engine warning indicator illuminated after the failure occurred. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the defect was related to internal damage within the transmission. The vehicle was then towed to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The dealer stated that the transmission would need to be replaced due to faulty cam shaft locking. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 01/25/12
