Vehicle Weaknesses
| Weakness | Cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic steering lock faulty The electronic steering lock sporadically jams and prevents engine start. Display shows 'turn steering wheel + START' without success. Documented on ECO-G: replacement part unavailable for weeks, vehicle had to be recovered multiple times. Symptoms: Engine will not start, message 'turn steering wheel + START', windows remain open, electric parking brake does not release from 15,000 km | Medium | |
| MediaNav display freezes or stays black The 8-inch MediaNav display fails to start after a long standstill or freezes while driving. Affects all drivetrain variants. Switching ignition off and on helps temporarily; a software update at the dealer is often the only lasting fix. Symptoms: Black screen after engine start, frozen display while driving, no response to touch input, navigation and reversing camera unavailable from 5,000 km | Low | |
| 12V battery discharges prematurely The 12V battery shows warnings such as 'battery low' or 'safety mode' after only a short standstill. Particularly common with short-trip drivers and in winter. The energy management system only charges the battery under overrun conditions, which is insufficient in city traffic. Battery replacement sometimes needed as early as 35,000 km. Symptoms: 'Battery low' warning in the display, MediaNav shuts off, front radar system reports fault, delayed engine start from 25,000 km | Low |
