2024 GLC43 AMG drive unit controls out and not working

Hello all,

Has anyone experienced this issue ... Really annoying and not sure if something is broken ? Should I wait till they become available again or is this a setting ?

Thx

Had to read it twice. You are talking about the AMG Drive Unit controls on the steering wheel. They won't come back on their own. It's been happening to a few folks around here. It appears the steering module is failing. Do a search. There were a few recent threads about it. It's some kind of an electrical issue/module failure that's been happening on some recent model years. There are a few cases on earlier model years, too, but seems to happen more often recently. You gonna have to take it in and get it fixed.

UPDATE: So they need to change the control unit knobs as a software update did not help.
I hate the fact that they have to remove steering and airbag do do this .

Any experiences ?
