Had the same problem with my 2016 GLA 250 prior to receiving a message statung "auxiliary battery malfunction". I just replaced the auxiliary battery so I am hoping that this will fix the issue. I will provide an update later. Please stay safe.

Did the problem reoccurred after replacing the auxiliary battery? Please let us know. Thanks!

Hi Folks,

Just an update since my original post.

For the past 10 months, I have been deactivating the Eco-mode when I start driving so my GLA250 no longer shifted to neutral at red lights. Then recently, the check engine light came on and I was told that my main and auxiliary batteries needed replacement. After replacing both batteries by myself (dealer wanted $900+), the problem seemed to have fixed itself. I'm not sure if this will work with others', but just wanted to share my experience.

*** Tip: Make sure to plug in an auxiliary battery backup before changing the main battery under the hood (in case auxiliary battery is dead as well).

Good luck!

Hello - Please let us know if the problem went away after replacing the auxiliary battery. Thanks!
