On 01/12/2024 the driver profile on my vehicle was remotely wiped with no authorization. This profile has settings for multiple automated driver functions including a creep function that I have always left off (On is the default). Once the driver profile was wiped, when I lifted my foot off the accelerator expecting the vehicle to come to a stop it did not. It continued traveling forward without any accelerator input.

There have been 3 instances of the same incident of the Automatic Emergency Breaking system failing, the 3 times has happened over the 8 months I have owned the car. Mercedes has aknowledged the failure of the automatic breaking system but they do not have any fixes for it. When I am driving, if the safety system senses a police radar system a car may have installed (like an old school one on a civilian's car dashboard) the car's security system "shuts down" for a couple seconds and slams on the breaks nearly causing a crash. I have been driv…

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
