Mercedes denies anything is wrong and says this is “expected behavior for rear camera calibration”. This makes absolutely no sense why a rear camera would need to recalibrate itself on every drive even when you never place the car in reverse. Furthermore, the backup camera is the “pop out kind” so you constantly hear it popping out and popping back in. It’s extremely distracting as
