“The vehicle slips into neutral and says 4 matic not available. I have to coast to a stop and then shutoff the vehicle, turn it off and then restart it. Also the forward collision warning alerts when I pass underneath a large metal freeway signage.”
NHTSA complaint #11416606, filed 2021-05, 72,000 miles“Had an update on the software to control collision prevention on the car, and soon afterward it began to deploy at certain spots without any other car in front for at least 50 feet. Took it back to the M-B Seattle dealer and after 4 weeks of investigation, I was told that the matter is exterior to the car and that the car performs as intended. T still drive the car and it still gives me warnings of impending to engage the collision detection braking system. I don't feel very comfortable driving it in the city.”
