I currently have an ML500 (2006) with the jerky transmission. After they "repaired" my all-the-time jerky transmission it became a part-time problem that they say they can't find and I'll have to live with it.
I'm currently compiling info to see if I have to proceed with the lemon law.
I would appreciate if you could give me the info on your service sheet to see if it is the same as the original fix they did or any other thing that would be helpful to fix this problem.

Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings.
To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.
You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.
To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!
Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

A grand mistake if you ask me. For example the Lexus LS now has more discussions that it did before and none of them are really of any use. They're all over the map and they don't have the conversational flow the previous discussion had. I mean one topic for styling, another for price, and yet another for something else. Who is in charge of this needless complication on Edmunds? You're going to have 8 threads on the M-Class and none of them will get much action because people won't know where to post and when they do they'll have to take their other questions to yet another thread? Doesn't make sense.

What would you folks think about some kind of "lounge" for M-Class? I don't know if that's possible given the requirements but I think it's worth exploring.

I agree that this is a needless complication. The old system ebbed and flowed and you could get a feel for the car by following the discussion. One might be surprised by where the discussion went and discover some unusual bits of information that you wouldn't think of looking for. Since I am thinking of trading in my Lexus RX in a couple of years I am following 4 or 5 cars which is bad enough. Now I will be following 40 or 50 separate discussions. Ridiculous.

I guess I don't see why anything needs to be changed. I mean what is wrong with a "M-Class" discussion. People have used a single thread to talk about pricing, styling, peformance, buying tips etc. etc. for years and there was no problem. The last round of changes were enough IMO. The tracking feature is great though, but with these pending changes you'll need to track 4-5 different threads or a whole group of discussions for just one vehicle. It doesn't make sense and makes finding the information a particular vehicle that much harder, IMO.

There have been only 87 posts in this discussion in 20 months. I don't think any more "discussions" on the 2006+ M class are needed.

Tidester.....I agree with the others. It wasn't broken. Why try to fix it? Were there massive complaints about the general thread? Or is someone at Edmunds just trying to justify keeping their job by making changes? What's the difference between a "lounge" and a "general" thread? there is none. Just a new name. If you want to let people "be in charge" and create new threads, then let people keep existing threads. I'll bet you the existing general threads will continue to attract the most users.
You can't have management in charge when it comes to shutting down threads but the users in charge when it comes to creating new ones. It's either one or the other.
This applies to all makes and models. Every model should have one "general" thread.
You're going to ruin a good thing.
