Q: Seven warnings came on, can't shift from park to drive - 2001 Mercedes Benz CL600

asked by on September 28, 2016

Yesterday, the message board in my car started showing seven warnings. Those include the check engine light, brake assist, SRS, ABS, active body control, ESP and speed distronic warnings. I tried starting the car and it runs rough. Also, I'm unable to shift from park into gear. What do you think might be the cause of this?
