2022 MERCEDES-BENZ S 500 Complaints

Camera which provides data to key ADAS features repeatedly malfunctions. Car reports “camera view restricted” rendering many safety features inoperable. It does so repeatedly. Dealer service department says camera cover is malfunctioning and part is on back order. This renders the car unsafe since the various safety features are inoperable and the warning message pops up,so often as to be distracting.

This is absolully manufacture design error, it might causing accident day and night to anyone who drive Mercedes Benz S-class what I see it, I had really nightmare in New York city when rainy night, because I can not see side mirror when I need see it, only I can get a refection on side mirror, especially rainy dark night in the city when street lights is reflected from air vent to side mirror and sun lights hit air vent and reflect to side mirror, this is great dangerous for anyone who has Mercedes Benz S-class, when reflection on to side mirror, PS: I could not put correct speed on your system, only I took picture when stop the car,

New S500 Benz, 1700 miles on the car, 2 months on the road only. Issues started right off the batt after purchasing this new S500. Car refuses to start daily, check engine light, 12v battery light, 48v battery needs service light, come on even tho the cars voltage is not low and is driven daily on highway. Took to the dealer, dealer says car needed to be driven more even tho its driven daily. Dealer stated voltage of the 12v battery was low, they charged the battery manually and stated that the cars ECU recorded a voltage problem. They cleared the ECU and released the car after 1 week in the shop under warranty. Next day the car was driven after it came out the shop, the car again gave a check engine light, 12v battery light, 48v battery needs service warning message. After driving the car for a bit the car completely went haywire. All interior electrical went out. Center counsel not working, dash console showed over 30 warning lights and messages ranging from electrical to low brake fluids including check engine light, SRS inoperable message, and many many more messages telling me to stop driving the car. Car is scheduled to be taken back to the dealer for another checkup. This time car must be towed in since it refuses to even turn on or to unlock the doors or windows. This car seems to be having major electrical issues as well as major computer problems. This car is unsafe to drive since it can stall out while driving. At this point i will be contacting mercades benz corporate to speak to someone about these major issues. As it stands the dealership is unaware of how or why the car is acting this way and do not know how to fix it. A true lemon indeed. Please view pics attached
