Has anyone else noticed that at major roundabouts (usually connecting motorways), the latest Mercedes COMAND SatNav systems (at least for the current C and E class models) tell you to 'Keep Left', even when approaching a roundabout you need to turn right at?
Several times now, I've been caught by surprise and ended up having to turn left on to the motorway and being taken on a 'mystery' ten mile detour. After several updates to try and fix the problem (at least it rarely says 'turn left' any more), I'm told this is 'expected behaviour' and therefore doesn't need to be fixed...
I'm speechless to understand why Mercedes think it's acceptable to tell drivers to stay in the left hand lane for a right hand turn and consider this anything less than hazardous? I've seen several other Mercedes drivers go around almost an entire roundabout in the left hand lane when I've been going straight on from the middle lane and had to do an emergency stop to avoid them.
We have these great pro-active protection systems now to protect us from driving into the car in front of us, why can't Mercedes fix the passive systems so they don't put us in a dangerous position to start with?!
