Car is at the dealers, battery?
Well, 2 days ago, I go to start the car, everything is fine, and then the MFD turns red with a battery logo and the dreaded VISIT WORKSHOP text. Since all was running fine, I headed home and thought maybe the battery is going. Next morning, same thing, red light, so I am driving to the dealer and after 15 minutes, a warning about the dash malfunction (or something like that) comes on, no turn signals, no fuel gauge. I stop, cannot open trunk, door locks acting up, some working some not.
I left it at the dealer and they are going to see what the deal is. Advisor says maybe a bad battery???
Will keep posted, any similar experiences are welcome.
Cheers

The Battery Control Module (BCM) may need to be replaced.

Picked up the car a few days ago, the battery control module was replaced and battery charged.
I noticed a few changes, like the CD changer is now alive again! Also, the COMAND seems to boot faster now (maybe its my imagination). I am glad this happened this month, as the warranty expires on the 1st of March! They also replaced a connector the ceiling airbag that they say was bad, the SRS malfunction text came on when the whole system went nuts, but I thought it was part of the malfunction. The car is now running great, I hope no more gremlins creep out. Thanks to MB of SD for the great service. BTW, I got a C230 loaner, and I must say its not as slow as I though, nice car.
