Forward Collision Avoidance › Automatic Emergency Braking
Filed Dec 30, 2021AZ

Mercedes Sprinter Automatic Emergency Braking cannot stay turned on, by design. After driving 30-60 minutes without traffic it turns off, every time. There's more potential for driver confusion and accidents when the system works sometimes and not others. The dealer says this behavior is intentional. A warning light does appear on the dash when AEB is disabled.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
