Mechanically good; too much tech = LEMON

THe car drives like a dream. However, every function is controlled by a touch screen - which means there are NO tactile buttons/knobs. So you MUST constantly take your eyes off the road. All the computer controlled functions are very unreliable. The pop-out door handles are inconsistent & unreliable. The dashcam just doesn't work at all. Same with the air freshener - it doesn't work, either. There are touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel - which is just plain STUPID. The center screen randomly changes screens The "gestures" function constantly turns lights on and off and opens the sunroof randomly - even if you're not moving. The trunk closed on my head 2x The power seat buttons don't move - they hurt to operate the seats. The blue tooth inconsistently connects. The rear seat belt tensioners click and rattle (both of them). The voice assistant is terrible and usually can't understand basic commands. The fingerprint recognition button doesn't recognize programmed fingerprints The Distronic (semi-autopilot) will phantom brake for no reason. This is just a terribly executed car and NOT worth the $150k. Mercedes Benz really [non-permissible content removed] the bed with this one. Some of these defects/problems are mere annoyances, others are downright dangerous. I'm gettiung ready to sue MB under CA lemon law - and they will lose. the car is only 2 yrs old, but has a mile long service history because of all the defects. An employee at the service dept told me the car is notorious for being problematic - "It's the worst car Mercedes has made in years, they're all coming back to us with a multitude of problems," this person told me. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR - save yourself the hassle, get something else.

S500 with multiple issues in the first two years

2022 S500 with multiple visits to the dealer for issues in the first two years. Battery failure due to some issue inside the car, technology failure, camera not working, all the systems were shutting down for many months before they could figure out what it was. They replaced the front camera and the battery and it seems to be working OK for now. The car is amazing to drive and love driving it.

I purchased my S 500 two years ago and I could not be happier. The car is a dream to drive! I have only driven 15,000 miles in those two years, but I have had ZERO problems with this car. Maintenance has been very easy, and my Mercedes dealer is fantastic. Yes, it was expensive, but I plan on keeping it for twenty years. Do yourself a favor and plunge on an S class vehicle and be happy every time you drive it like I get to experience.
