Parktronic issue

Has anyone had an issue with the front Parktronic behaving irratically ?
To be specific, it lights up fully with nothing in front of the vehicle when coming to a stop. This is on a 2014 G550 and the dealer has been unable to pinpoint the problem

I just bought one this past Friday. I am having the same issue. It's the right front when coming to a stop after driving for sometime. The car has 200 miles on it and already in the shop. I hope they can figure it out. They were saying they can't duplicate the problem.

What did they end up doing for yours? -- to the OP did they ever come up with a fix. If it keeps happening I won't take the car. I will put up a fight. I can't have that thing going nuts with clients in the car.

Still at the dealer as we speak they will give it back unfixed until Mercedes fixes it but it's also a known issue in the gls as well, I wonder if the g63 guys are having the same issue.

Ok I heard back from my dealer. Mercedes doesn't have a fix for it. They are saying that it is reading the brush guard in the front. They have a work around at this time its called -- "Urgent Measure for PTS failure" Concerning Model 463 with "skirting protection" Essentially they put damping on the brush guard. But it is visible. It came out 06.11.2014

I am opting not to put it on as I don't want some sticker that looks like beef jerky on my car.
