car is stuck in sports suspension

Hi, my 2016 e 63 is stuck in sports mode. It has 50,000 miles almost on the dot, and one day, I started the car up, and it has been stuck in the sports suspension setting. I at first thought that this was just a little bug and it would go away. However, after a week of driving, it has still not gone away. I still have a service due in a few months and a warranty that will hopefully take care of the issue was hoping that one of you guys may know the diagnosis or tell me what to expect from the dealer. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Did you try to disconnect the battery? Any error codes?

Very frustrating! Do you happen to have a code scanner (any codes showing up)? At least you have warranty. If there is no quick answer from the forums, I would take it in for repair sooner than later.

Happened to me after i installed my lowering springs. Mechanic got out his obd2 reader and found errors
​​​​​ that indicated that they did not fully connect some conectors to the shocks on one side. After connecting it, problem was fixed
