2023 Mercedes-Benz S580 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL Failure Complaint (#b0bddd)

2023 Mercedes-Benz S580

  • Date of Incident: Apr-04, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-14, 2024
  • Failed components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

The "distronic" cruise control is so abrupt in its acceleration and declaration that vehicles behind me tend to take evasive action. The car doesn't sense vehicles far enough ahead to take smooth action, resulting in a jarring, favorite, and fearful ride.
