If that happened to my car at the lake, I guess I would have just pushed it on in... LOL.
Yeah, definitely sounds like a MB thing. I have never heard of a transmission going all at once without warning, save on some of the 1990'ish-1993 Town Cars (and other RWD FMC cars those years) where some sort of cable or something can break and instantly ruin the transmission.
