“S400 is a hybrid from mercedes benz and when driven over 40 miles in distance then the AC will turn on no matter what. We tried to turn it off but can not. Mb dealer told us it is normal operations but this is a major issue as in the winter the AC also turns on. This has happened many times and mb dealer has not addressed it.”
