![]() ![]() Most of the time it works, but every so often it will ask me to put the key in the designated spot shown in the manual. Starting this thing can also be a huge pain. I enter this vehicle over 100 times a day, you can imagine how frustrating this gets. The buttons on the fob don't work consistently enough to make this an easy step so most of the time I am screwing with the locks for 10 or fifteen seconds every time I enter the vehicle. If I come back and hit the unlock button once it usually won't unlock the doors so I have to lock it and then unlock it to get the locks to open. I am usually running in and out of this thing all day delivering and after I leave the vehicle it might lock the doors on me or it might not. Getting in and out of this thing sucks too. I am trying to drive in bad traffic and I have to deal with this thing jerking and shaking me around to boot, you can imagine how happy this makes me. Once you get to speed this thing always hunts around for gears. There's no in-between on acceleration either, this thing either rolls along at 2mph or thinks you are giving it the beans, you try for an easy acceleration and it will just sit there while the person behind you is on their brakes thinking you're a giant a-hole for driving so slow. Every time you press down the pedal you can count on it sitting still for at least a second and a half to two seconds before it starts to accelerate, there's no consistency either, so it's a big gamble … pulling out into traffic when it's busy. ![]() I work for FedEx Express and we have a 2019 version in our fleet, I hate taking the route it is on because I always get stuck with this stupid van, it is an utmost displeasure to drive. if they won't take care of a repeat commercial customer who are they going to take care of? Bad vehicle, BAD COMPANY! Say away. Avoid this piece-o like the plague and avoid Mercedes as well. There are no loaners, no compensation no nothing for having our $70,000 vehicle spend half it's life in 'Mercedes Jail". I've appled to have the van bought back under our state lemon law and been rejected each time with no explanation. Even pre covid it was the same thing so that's not the issue. This is the 3rd time for the same issue and each time it has taken at least 2 months to get … repaired because, apparently, they have so many issues with this problem they can't keep up. They won't even allow us to take the van as it is an emmissions problem. It has been there for 2 months and I just heard it will be at least another 6 months before Mercedes can manufacture the part. This poor excuse for a vehicle is, once again, in the Mercedes dealer shop for a bad EGR valve.
