No balls needed, just a quick reaction to keep my daughter from crashing LOL (I was teaching her to drive).

I always wondered how you guys made your decisions on claims like this. :lol:

What did you end up doing Mark? I would try it in my Benz to see if it can be done but want to make sure the claim will be approved if I tell them the same story.

Have you asked....the manufacturer?

Maybe the system that is supposed to prevent this from being possible, did not do it's job (software glitch?)

Mark I'm sure you won't base your decision on some informal internet polling...
No not at all. I just know that some how they do it NASCAR to try and control a spin out

On a 2000 Benz it would depend on how fast they were going and what RPM the engine was when it occured. Most electronic transmissions won't do anything till the TC and speed sensor gets to a certain rpm.
I would question the claim if they were travelling forward at all or if it was even an accident. Don't you guys have inspectors? I'd ask for more details. Was this car sitting still? How fast did it go into reverse? How high did it jump in the air. Also what caused the car to lift in the air?

Are you with an insurance company or work for Mercedes?
Hey if we're gonna help you with work can you get our rates lowered? :P
