My car is starting to act buggy, I did a vehicle system reset and now everything seems buggy!

1) Mercedes Me connect is OFFLINE- The car though is connected to the internet as I open a browser on one of the screens and it works fine. Do not know why this is happening.

2) USB-C- was raining yesterday and I had left the sunroof open inadvertently for 30 min, now none of the chargers work

3) Plug N Charge- the car is not doing the handshake anymore at the EA stations, I am having to pay out of pocket with the EA app, do not know how this has occurred

Any tips/pointers?

For #3 - my dealer told me that if this happens you can swipe the 2 year free key card they gave me. They said this should then recognize and give the free charging.

But of course, I would first run to the dealer and have them look at everything...

I never got that card, will ask the dealer

If rain got into the car, perhaps the USB-C shorted. Are there fuses that can be checked? Make sure you dry out any lingering moisture.
The electrical fuses are located in various fuse
boxes:
R Fuse box on the driver's side of the cockpit
(/ page 417)
R Fuse box in the front passenger footwell
(/ page 417)
R Fuse box under the cargo floor (/ page 418)
Opening and closing the fuse box in the cockpit
R Observe the notes on electrical fuses
(/ page 416).
The fuse box is on the driver's side on the side of
the cockpit under a cover.
# Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the
fuse box opened at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.

I have this problem right now, is your fixed now? do you know what was the issue?

Same issues, although not due to rain via open roof. No USB-C, no connectivity to Mercedes Me…
Took the car in for repair. Took 10 days to identify that the issue is a short circuit with the control board that controls all telematics functions.
Was told 6 weeks ago that control unit is on back order. Service manager has ghosted me for the past 2 weeks since I started asking for an update.

that's crazy, I would go for the lemon law, California has lemon law which says if dealer cannot fix your car in 6 or 8 weeks, they have to either take it back or give you a new one.
