My 2015 S550 is 12 inches longer than my previous 2012 CLS550 and it hits the curb in the first try and than you have to pull forward and try again but most of the time it requires a forward move before backing again. This multiple moving back and forth was never an issue with the CLS......it went in back and then forward and then straight. Is anyone having problems getting the car to change turning direction before hitting the curb ?? And BTW....I complained to SA and he parked it himself but not without hitting the curb the first turnin and then he pulled forward and then again straight, and said "there you go".."perfect" WTF ??

Nice Ride

My 2014 S550 has failed many times, hitting the curb. It has been back to the dealer several times, the ticket was escalated and the response was...… Ready for this...… It was not designed to work with the curb heights in the US. Known problem an no fix in sight... Let me know if you find anything out. Back to the old " Drive by brain". I never used it since. The car has so many other Great features, i can let this one go. The dealer said the GL's have no problems because of the height of the vehicle.

Now thinking about it, I never did try to see if it works better with the vehicle in the raised position other than the low position....

Mine works perfectly every time.

First....raising the height of the car would certainly have the rear sensors totally miss the curb. Second, maybe the later models (ie '17,'18 ) have this fixed. And is there a possibility that there is a software fix we are not aware of ? Or maybe the sensors are faulty ???

Hmmm never had this issue in our '15. It worked well for the most part. A tad bit slow and cumbersome to use to be honest. Usually when you need to parallel park, it's in the city and people are always rushing. I do agree that our 18 does seem to park better.
