Hi I recently bought a 1999 E320 in the us that had gone 56k miles. First couple of months it drove fine. Recently, I slowed down in an expressway due to traffic and then tried to accelerate when I noticed that I had to give a lot of gas to accelerate and the engine speeed was also way too high. I drove for a while and then came to a stop at a gas station when I shifted to P (park) the car jolted front. I switched of the engine and started after a few minutes and the car drove fine. This had happened two times in the last 4 days. This used to be drive in east coast for the first 3 years and then in California for the 4 years. Can someone please tell me the possible root-cause of this symtoms I had explained? What do you advice I do? Is the transmission go bad? Thank you very much in advance.

| My 2000 E320 4 matic has a few small problems. I get a slight vibration on initial take off much like bad tires. The tires and alignment are fine. Also there is a slight rear end noise when I let off the gas. The noise goes away when there is slight acceleration. The most annoying is a high frequency squeal that comes intermittently. It sounds like a squeach on a microphone or the cars telephone. My car no longer makes that telephone dial up sound that it did before.The noise is more prevalent when the heater is on. | |

Have 2006 E sedan bought new; now have approx. 7.7k miles. Three or four times now (that I have noticed), car bellows large cloud of blue smoke when I start it. Seems to occur when I start the car and move it (like back it out of the garage, turn it off and restart it say an hour later). I have as yet to confirm this sequence. My first guess is oil leaking down the valve stems as engine temp. is cold and there is a cold temp. clearance problem. Oil consumption is close to zero. Anyone else having this problem or do I again have the good fortune to be the only person in the world to have this problem? Otherwise, I love the car, excellent performance and gas mileage, handles like a dream. Just embarassing as hell to have a new $55k car that smokes like a Cuban taxicab.
