| Description of the problem | All the safety complaints in the past two forms happen in all the 2014,2015. And 2016 mercedes s550. The cars are suppose to practically drive themselves. It even has steering assist that keeps the car centered in the lane and will even steer around curves. It is suppose to keep pre set distances from the car in front that you can set between 100 and 200 feet. It is suppose to stop before hitting an object in front of the car. None work. What is going to happen when in 2020 when the car mercedes build will actually drive itself. If they cannot get this simple safety features to work correctly in my car, how is it going to work when it mass produces cars that totally drive themselves.. The driver assistance pkg. Works like it was never installed in my car, how will having the car take over more control work. If i do not feel safe in my car now god help us all. When all the cars drive themselvews. Sure the ones they are driving as test cars work. They were hand built. What happens when they are mass produced whith other countries making the parts. It sounds as if mercedes is going to have a massive recall campaign with the safety features that do not work now. |
