Hello Everyone,
Can we make petitions for some features that can be fixed with a firmware upgrade, to Mercedes Benz? Like feedback with voting.
For instance, I would like
"Vehicle should go into park, when engine is shutoff"
or
"Engine Auto Start/Stop should be activated, only when the driver engages Hold feature" (I know MB won't do this, because of EPS regulations BS, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
or
"Option to lock the doors while engine is running" (I can explain why I need this).
Other things that we complained in the other posts.

If so, I can start a few threads with "required features" with a voting system.

@konigstiger, please share your perspective.

Thanks.

First one happens when you shut engine off, unbuckle and open your door. Third one is in vehicle settings, something like "Lock Delay"

1. I want to be in parked, as soon as I shut off the engine, like in a BMW.
2. The lock door features, is when the car is running and I go out of the vehicle, not inside the vehicle and picks up 15mph or more speed.
For instance, I just came from the office, stopped at the mail box or at the apartment leasing office, to pick up the mail, which is 5-10 feet away.
a. I don't want to turn off the engine and lock the doors; I want to leave the engine as it is and walk away with keys and lock the doors. May be because, there is a baby inside the car or other passengers.
b. You can start the car, put the key outside the car and can drive away, as long as you don't shut the engine in the middle of your path. So, If in the above case, if someone steals the car, and I have the key fob, it is of no use.

Maybe you can add some voting buttons to the thread.

If petitions from customers is something MB cares for, I will create threads with voting system for each individual feature. So that, it'll have well document of pros and cons of that feature.

from MBUSA, CSR:
We wouldn't have petitions or voting. I will share your feedback and it is documented here. I couldn't promise that this will affect future designs and decisions, but I will make sure to share your feedback with the team. I will do my part to make sure your voice is heard; however, we simply cannot promise that this will be implemented in to future designs

I commend you for your passion.


Unfortunately MBUSA doesn't give a damn about us "little people". Like any other luxury maker (Apple, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Cristal, etc.), their goal is to shove as many cars down our throats as possible, and leave us to deal with CS issues on an island.

One of the main reasons for depreciation of the value of E-Class.
While, it is good in my case, because I profited out of it, buying a 'under factory warranty' vehicle for less than half the cost of sticker price, as OTD and left with some money for MB ELW. But, not good for the actual customers who purchased brand new from the factory.

OP, I admire your gusto. But car companies could give a f*** about what you think or want, unless they are somehow convinced you won't buy their product. By that definition, owning a Mercedes means they care even less about you, they have their money.

unfortunately, that is true
Not just car manu's, even most of the leading manufacturers, for many daily used products.!
