Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“From 2014 through 2016 the intelligent drive and the driver assistance package does not work. I keep saying the s550 thinks 200 feet is 90 feet and 100 feet is 30 feet. What I mean to say is the systems think 90 feet distance is 200 feet away and 30 feet is 100 feet away. It does not measure the distance properly. It could be, and most likely, a programing issue. It is the same on all the 2014 through 2016 s550's I have tried. …”
