890 miles from home stuck in Fayetteville NC

[EDBSO]

Can’t get the car out of park! Stuck at a stop light in the middle lane.

Background. It rained like heck last night, reminants of the toronadoes. Car started fine but within half a mile the ABS, ESP, cruise inoperative (5 warnings in total).

2006 E320 CDI.

Shifted into park and restarted in the hope of resetting the codes and I couldn’t get it out of park. Cars were wizzing by at 50mph, not a good place to be.

I tried restarting dozens of times till it finally shifted and we were able to continue to Jacksonville Florida, visiting the Amelia Island Concourse de Elegance this week. Did not turn off or put in park for food or fueling, kept it running in drive or neutral.

It seams that something got wet in the driving heavy rain while parked overnight. I recall others with car wash problems.

My icarsoft scanner is at home...bummer.

Any recommendations for an indie in Jacksonville, Savannah or Charleston wher
We will be visiting on the way home.
