Hi there. I got a E220 estate September 2017 (W213) which has been basically fine. On occasions it locked up when I was driving and I took it back. The first time they replaced a sensor but it did it again so I took it back in. They say that the sensors were set to go off from too far away and there is no fault with the car. They also say that if it happens again I would have to demonstrate it to a technician. So I have a car which has locked up when I am passing an articulated lorry at 60mph and it is my fault! Surely this is dangerous to have too sensitive sensors in the car or am I missing something?

Hi and thanks for answering. I took it back to the garage I got it from (Mercedes Glasgow) and when I went there tonight to pick my car up I told them I wasn’t happy to drive it. They have let me hold onto the hire car and the service manager and head mechanic are taking it further. Interesting to note that neither of them admitted to hearing of this before.
