On four separate occasions between April 2026 and today the Active Brake Assist systems has engaged for no reason. This has occurred in daylight as well as at night. It has occurred at low speeds (15 mph) and at highway speeds. On two occasions there was a near collision from the car behind me due to the rapid engagement of the brakes. On one occasion I suffered bruises to my arm due to the force of braking. Multiple trips to dealer (EuroMotor Cars Bethesda) found no error codes and they were unable to replicate the issue in test drives. The dealer simply reset the software and claimed all sensors, cameras and radar were functionally normally. There are no warning lights or other error messa

At the same time, there was recurring static/electrical-type noise coming through the ve

Mercedes-Benz USA became involved, and the dealership ultimately stated that the malfunction had been corrected through a software update. The 48V battery was not replaced. I have not received documentation clearly identifying the specific software update, campaign, operation number, underlying failure mechanism, or pre- and post-repair diagnostic results establishing that the reported malfunction was caused and resolved by software.
