What owners report
After being parked for several days at the airport, the vehicle turned on, but would not start. The instrument cluster had the following message, âService required do not change transmission positionâ. I contacted Mercedes road side assistance who cannot access this parking level. They indicated I should push the car out of the lot and have it towed with a flat bed. After a review they had a software reset that is available after 40 minutes. They indicated to drive only outside, then to park and have the vehicle towed. If I drove further it could void the warranty. This scenario repeated multiple times over several months, including maybe five weeks in the shop in the first four month
While driving, the instrument cluster and infotainment system displays intermittently go blank for 2-3 minutes. It appears that instrument cluster and infotainment systems crash and reboot.

As I entered a single lane roundabout the car suddenly stopped very abruptly. There was no imminent danger nor were there any cars coming through the roundabout.

There were no warning lights or messages prior to the incident.
I received the new car on December 19-2024. The first time it was back at the dealership was December 21 for a computer malfunction. The screens shut down while driving. Since then, it has been back at the dealership #6 other times for the same issue, and they have not been able to fix things. Yesterday at a highway, it happened #6 times.
