I have not heard of this problem. However, I must admit that frequently ours goes into neutral, but I believe its because I don't hit it up, or down long enough. Once in neutral, one more hit puts it in gear. Have you noticed if it goes into reverse easier than drive? You have to go from...

Awesome detailed post! Thanks!

They did it last year for free, but went out of their way to warn me that "this would be the last time." This year the same dealer said, yeah, we are required to do it. I have no idea of whats required to change it.

My dealer is doing this for free during the annual battery inspection. Last year they said they wouldn't do it any more, however, this year the service rep stated they read the warranty manual, and they are responsible for it. I was shocked, as I wasn't expecting this.

We love our '15 B200. We had the drive unit replaced at 47k miles of the original warranty(rebuilt DU). We got it used with 38k miles from Los Angeles. It took our dealer 10 weeks to perform the repair. There was a lot of back/forth with MB Europe and Tesla. We got a new inverter as well as a...

@PatricioEV describes happens in our Prius and Highlander hybrid. I have never had this happen in the B-class. I do get lurch sometimes while stop with the foot on the brake. It feels like the motor pulses.

Alex, Good luck. We get the message every few weeks. We haven't replaced the 12v battery yet, which sounds like it is a common problem when the 12v battery is older. Good to know about the hex key.

2. A/C rest. Is incredible in South Texas when running errands when the temps get above 85. Hit the button before you open the driver's door and it will leave the HVAC running for 45min at the cost of only a few miles of range < 4. No app needed, a simple button push. The other folks answered...

Good luck!

So with that being said, would you consider replacing the 12v battery as maintenance item? If so, what interval? We haven't replaced ours yet (purchased in Sep'17 a 2015 model). I'm simply trying to prolong our use of this car, knowing how problematic they can be. We have been going strong on...

I have not seen this. Does it charge at all? If so, how much, not in mileage but on the battery capacity gauge.

I got these wipers off of Amazon that worked great on ours https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JU60ZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JU5Z74/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Never seen this one Jeff. We got the dreaded "visit workshop" error on Sunday (first time since having the drive unit replaced). Simply stopped and restarted the car, all was fine.

I actually took my E350 (my first Benz) into the dealer for this. The service tech kindly informed me that it is for fog, and only on one side as to not to confuse it with a stuck brake light on situation.

Awesome job. Good luck with the reprogramming.
