Throughout the year, the car had many issues, the blind spot sensors and glass sensors didn't work, and it constantly showed that the stop/start system wasn't working. Twice, the car turned off by itself at a stoplight. Since everything is controlled through the car's large monitor, including the navigation, air conditioning, and all other functions, the monitor frequently shut off and it was necessary to turn it off and on again, or wait until the next day for it to work again. The scariest incident happened during a heavy rainstorm. I was driving on the road surrounded by other cars when my car suddenly stopped abruptly and began to park itself in the middle of the road. All sensors failed! The cameras were going in and out without stopping, all sensors were beeping loudly and flashing, the check engine light came on, and the blind spot sensors wouldn't turn off. I couldn't do anything with the car or control it. I turned the car off and on four times just to get it off the road. When I called Mercedes, they didn't think it was a serious problem and made me an appointment for a month later. I brought the car in, but they didn't give me any timelines or updates on what was happening with my car. I called them for five days, but they didn't even look at it. Please help me resolve the issue with my car and the dealership!
