@MercedesBenzInd Facing a serious and unresolved issue with my Mercedes vehicle, and the experience so far has been extremely disappointing.
The head unit behavior is very specific:
• Works perfectly when the car is in reverse (camera, display, system all stable)
• The moment I shift to drive mode, the system starts restarting repeatedly
This clearly shows the system is functional under certain conditions. If this were a true hardware failure, how does it work flawlessly in reverse every single time?
What’s even more concerning is the completely inconsistent guidance from authorized dealers:
• One dealer warned that a software update could either fix the issue OR completely crash the system, leading to a blank screen and forced replacement
• Another dealer has already performed the update — and the issue remains exactly the same
So the system didn’t crash, didn’t get fixed, and we are back to square one — yet a costly replacement is still being suggested.
It’s difficult to justify how a premium brand like
@MercedesBenz can recommend a ₹3.8 lakh replacement without a clear, consistent, and technically sound diagnosis.
Such issues are not expected from a brand at this level—especially when vehicles at half the price often deliver a more reliable experience.
At times like this, customers expect support and accountability—not an expensive trial-and-error approach.
If this is the standard resolution, it genuinely makes customers think twice before choosing Mercedes in the future.
Requesting
@MercedesBenz to step in and provide a clear, evidence-backed resolution.
