2007 SLK280 7-speed transmission problems w/shift from 2nd to 3rd??

Hello all. Has anyone ever had problems w/their 7-speed transmission with the shift from 2nd to 3rd?? I have 5000 miles on the car. It just started slipping today with the shift from 2nd to 3rd?? Doesn't matter if shifting manually or not. It is actually worse if you leave it in auto!!! I am shocked?? Any ideas anyone please??

It's an '07 that you've put only 5k on?  Do you have a warranty? If so take it to the dealer.

It's way outside of my experience range so I won't even guess at an answer to the problem.

Definitely sounds like a shift solenoid to me.  Warranty time.
