Sensitive sensors
2021 300De where the sensors around the car are ridiculously sensitive and the system shuts down. Last time after a light rain in the night and clean car the system was turned off for at least 30 min drive. Happens when there are mosquitos in the air and you need to clean the sensors really careful from mosquito bodies. Serviced yesterday and they could not locate any problems. Maybe not a big problem but either you have the warning or not, having it sometimes will end up in backing accident sooner or later
Anyone else experiencing this?

Never had this myself, even when car was covered in thick dust
ONLY the radar sometimes acts up in heavy rain (for drive assistance & adaptive cruise)
Though My 360° cameras stopped working 2 days ago, but a MBUX reset fixed that.
it's not at all the same problem as you, but worth a try ?
mbux reboot = hold favourite + telephone till system reboots

The "sensors around the car" use mixed analog to digital signals convertion. They are sensitive to poor unstable voltage supply. In turn there are a handful of reasons for that.
The fix for that is the root cause, not the many modules randomly forced unstable...
Start with scanning the car for any available clues.
