Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 2004 mercedes C320 that incorrectly thought that it needed to cut power to the vehicle when I was turning to the left. It did this several times, I would guess about 6 or 7, from the time I left my house until I turned around and parked it in the garage less than 1/2 mile driving distance. These were not all complete left turns, most were curves to the left. …”
