Yes it is, don't know what triggered it Happened 3 times.I Was playing a little with driving mode, ie individual to sport.. stopped then restarted, engine, now is going fine.
Past code stay, right? Not wanting to look idiot at the dealer..
I've had two G 63s (2020 G63 and 2024 G 63). Occasionally, maybe once every 2 or 3 months, when I start the engine, I'll see a strange warning message on the dash. Things like "Water Fording Not Possible", or "Active Distance Assist Inoperative", etc. This has happened often enough over the years, that now I automatically turn off the engine, wait a minute, then restart the engine. So far, the warning lights have always disappeared, and everything runs fine.
I just re-read your post. Since you said it has happened three times, this would bother me enough that I'd probably take it to the dealer to have it checked.
Good luck

had this happen in multiple occasion in my old G400d , If I recall correctly I didn't even have to shut the engine off.. message was going away after some minutes..
I'm taking the car at the dealer on Thursday to have it checked , no turtle since yesterday btw
I've had the "Active Distance Assist Inoperative" message on all previous 2021-2024 G63's at some point or the other. Usually when it happens the brake assist is off (which I turn off anyway after I had a car slam on brakes for no reason) and the AMG control ride buttons are not lit. When the car is restarted everything is okay.
Concerning the turtle mode I imagine the car saves the error codes, and if it does not there's no reason for the dealer to question you. Nobody makes up stuff to waste time at the dealer right?
Just a little update,
as of now the car is still plagued by this problem,
they changed:
left and right solenoid valve A0001532859
and
pressure transducer A0001531800
car has run fine for almost a month, up until monday when problem reoccured.
