Active Park Assist
I tried the Active Park Asst today for the 1st time on my 2016 GLE. When backing up into the parallel spot, the car hit the curb. I consider that a parking failure; I could do much better myself. Has anyone experienced poor performance from this feature?

Mine has gotten very, very close several times and maybe hit it once if I remember correctly. But over all it has parked itself correctly several times. Give it another try.

I enjoy APA on my GLE. The human-machine interface requires some getting used to. The driver needs to judge the distance, laterally, from the curbside obstacle. For example, a row of parked cars. If the driver is too near the curb at the start of the maneuver, it's likely the APA system will bump the curb. Once this is worked out, the system works flawlessly in my experience. The comments above are for parallel parking.
