I parked on a hill using the e/brake, came back started the car and put in drive the car wouldn't come out of low so we pull over and turn the car off, restart the car it was just fine. Has anyone had this problem.

I have had a few Mercedes 300D-280sl-240D-e320-r500 so far the only problem is the R500 only had it one month (2006-R500). But I would purchase another one in three years.
