G Klasse Gear Shift Indicator Fault

Has anyone seen this before? My 2020 Mercedes G Klasse, gasoline engine, is throwing a weird gear shift indicator fault at 209367 km. I can't engage gears properly, the transmission's acting up with slipping, unclean shifts, and even some grinding noises. The gear selection display is blank, and there's an error code stored. Sounds like a defective control unit, could cost around 1000€. Any thoughts?

Dude, that sounds rough. My G Klasse had something kinda similar. The gear shift was acting bonkers, like trying to play a video game with a broken joystick. Was it a sensor problem maybe?

Interesting. When you say 'similar', was your gear indicator also dead? And did you also have shifting problems? Was it fixed by replacing the sensor?

Yeah, the indicator was totally blank sometimes, and the shifting was jerky. I was lucky, it was a glitchy connection. But I'd get it checked at a workshop pronto. These things can get expensive fast!

Thanks for the input. Turns out you were right about getting it checked. It was indeed a defective control unit, just like I suspected, and they are replacing it. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
