OK my W205 is coming up 9 months old has developed a couple of small faults and one that I am not sure is a fault or something you just have to live with an auto box.
1. Door LED blown - worthy of a trip to the dealer under warranty I guess?
2. Hit and miss with the 'touch to open/lock' drivers handle for keyless entry.
Another question on the keyless feature - is there an autolock setting where you can walk away from the car and it locks on it's own? (my Mrs's Captur has this feature so I find it hard to believe my Merc doesn't - not that I can find any such setting!)
The big one though is the sometimes erratic gear shifting in comfort mode. Example this morning doing around 70mph before exiting junction I took foot off accelerator and it dropped from 7th to 4th. Then had to manually up the shift.
Happens quite a lot this, 30mph and it can sit in 5th or even 6th sometimes. 4th at 20mph. The diesel unit is loud enough without it sounding like its constantly in the wrong gear.
It's never felt great at gear shift, and wondered if this is just something you get used to going from a manual to auto.
Sports mode is the best for gear but wish I could default to this rather than revert to comfort mode. Even in sport though I feel it can get stuck in gear or get confused and takes a lot of manual adjustment.
Any thoughts/comments would really be appreciated.
