    Wiper shuttering? Really???

    Well we finally had some serious rain here in the L. A area yesterday and for the first time since having my MBED, I got to try out the wipers. Wow. Really Mercedes Benz?? A $50k+ car and the wipers shutter against the windshield?? My Chevy Colt had smooth silent wipers. PLUS, there's NO...

    Super Duper charge mode

    Will the GOM show that 12% more in miles? My GOM showed the same range (82) that I charged to last without the extended range. I also had a service message on the dash when I first started the car after the charge. I'm thinking that's not normal.

    Anyone else having problems with My Mercedes Electric?

    This App is such CRAP. It's been unavailable more than its been available in the month I've had the car. C'mon.. Even my Chevy Volt app was far superior to this POS,

    Super Duper charge mode

    So after a month of ownership, I'm charging tonight in the extended range mode for a trip tomorrow where I may not be able to charge before heading back. Even though the round trip is less than my normal range, I want to give the extended mode a try just to see what range I'll get. For those...

    RANGE NOT AS ADVERTISED

    Amen cossie1600! I've been driving electric for three years (my first EV was a Volt). The GOM is a joke on ALL EV's. After one month of B class ownership, I'm learning that the battery percentage gauge is my best gauge of range.

    Sensation of a gentle bump

    On several occasions over the first month of ownership, I've felt a sensation as if being bumped from behind when taking my foot off the brake. I believe at least one other owner has experienced this as I read a post he wrote that for whatever reason was posted in a thread for a completely...

    Polarized front windshield

    I've had my '15 B class for a month now. One of the first things I noticed is a red tint, or polarization on the front windshield when looking at the windshield from outside the car at certain angles. Does anyone know the reason behind this? I've not noticed it on any other MB model, just the B...

    Train dealers on how to provide VVC!

    Feeling lucky that my sales guy provided this to me within a few days of me leaving with the car. Sorry for your frustration

    Cabin AC active when parked

    I've had no problem activating climate control from the MB App. The one time I tried it I was successful. When I got into the car, the blue lights were on on the pre-condition button.

    "Charger will not work properly if used with extension cord"

    Using an extension cord for your charger is discouraged by all EV manufacturers. I would avoid it at all costs.

    "Engine" fan noise/operation

    New to the B class for 2 weeks now. I drove a Chevy Volt for the last three years, and there is also a BMW i3 in the family. I've noticed fan noise and vibration when I first start driving, usually when the a/c is in Max Cool, or blowing on high. It is NOT a fan noise from climate control...

    False crash sensor beep and flashes.

    I've had my 2015 for less than 2 weeks now, and the collision sensor goes off often as a false alarm. Apparently, there is no way to disable it permanently. It can be disabled, but only during the drive you are on. It must be disabled each time you re-start the car :?
