Driver assistance
Coordinate this complaint with previous complaints reference 11569682 and 11569502, As of last night the car has 1136 miles. I have thoroughly tested the car to the best of my ability and set and reset the settings. The hill decent has only engaged twice. The car is supposed to read speed limit signs and it does show up in the instrument panel but the car speeds up randomly i.e. from 35 to 50 and above to not limited to 35. The adaptive speed control at random will malfunction the car will not slow down and brake. This has happened several times. When turn signal is engaged and you enter turning lane the car may slow down or not. This vehicle I was told is a MBUA corporate vehicle held back at MBUSA for over 2 years then auctioned. Fletcher Jones Las Vegas had the vehicle on the lot with 47 miles and sold it to me with 48 miles. …
