C220 CDi Triptronic 1999 [Emergency Mode?]

[Salvatrucha]

Just bought this mercedes, been driving it for now 3 days, and today when i was driving i noticed the car wasnt changing gears when it was suppose to, so i just checked triptronic (on my screen it said D) pushed it left and it didnt change gears to 4 and below and was stuck on D, plus the car kept jumping forward when i was changing from D to N/R/P so i switched the car off and switched it back on; it solved the problem, triptronic was working, car was driving fine, but it kept happening.

So i called up AA, they are telling me there is something wrong with the ECU (not monitoring you're rev/gear change correctly).

Im just wondering what everyone else thinks? and if anyone knows how much this will end up costing me?

CAR SOUNDS LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ENGINE (RUNS FINE) JUST DOESNT CHANGE GEAR, CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THIS IS SERIOUS OR MINOR?

Note: 200k mileage

It depends on what it is. You need to have the codes read to see what the fault is.
