2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250: Drivetrain Electronic Gremlins
May possibly 16, 2014
The day following our long-term 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 insisted its nav screen was being stolen, I discovered yet another (and surely far more alarming) quirk.
Here’;s what it did.
I was driving in the ebb and flow of freeway targeted traffic, alternately employing the transmission’;s manual and automatic modes as usual. At a single point, I returned to the throttle to uncover no forward progress at all. I glanced down and saw that the transmission was now in Neutral. It did this of its personal accord.
I nudged the selector down to re-select Drive, and resumed driving. At this point I noticed an alert had flashed up in the instrument cluster: “Pre-Secure Functions Limited. See Owner’;s Manual.”
The alert then blinked away, to be replaced by the a single you see in the lead shot: “Cruise Control Inoperative.” And it was. The cruise was no longer functional.
A crucial cycle performed later returned it to its normal self.
This vehicle has concerns.
