Comand Online Map Update

Only v11, they didn't update it and now it's on it's way they've called to say they only update at services (same response from local dealer) :-(
Not the end of the world, hopefully the v13 next year will also include the major revisions being done to the nearest main road to my house.

Does show that Swindon Mercedes excel in twattery. I only asked for things that were of little cost to them - for example replacing both front tyres rather than the one that was damaged and leaving the other at just over 3 mm. They've done nothing for me, but the sales guy who dealt with is the one driving the car up (in Friday traffic M5/M6) and he wanted a lift 10 minutes down the road to Enterprise to get back. I've told him to make his own way. I'd have been more than happy to drop him off if they'd done anything useful.

I bet they haven't even topped up the AdBlue!

If (when) you have the "clonking" on full lock raise a complaint with MB (not dealer), letter below sent out by MB in February 2017 may help:

Dear Colleague

Further to our interim update last week, we are now able to provide a more detailed technical explanation regarding this issue.

Due to the positioning of the front axle differential on right hand drive cars, the steering position differs very slightly compared to left hand drive models. When the steering is on full lock this steering angle difference can result in the front tyre skipping sensation. This is more pronounced during cold weather and when larger wheels and low profile tyres are fitted.

We can assure you that our technical specialists, as well as independent experts such as DEKRA, concur that the cars remain completely safe to drive.

Fitment of All Season tyres counteracts the sensation. We are therefore securing sufficient stocks of these to provide to customers who find this uncomfortable.

· Mercedes-Benz Cars UK will contact GLC customers who have already registered a Compass complaint:
• Customers with 17”, 18”, 19” and 20” tyres will be offered a set of All Season tyres (once available) and fitment free of charge
• For GLC 43 AMG customers who have cars with 21” tyres, a 21” All Season tyre is not currently available. We will offer these customers the option of taking 20” wheels and All Season tyres, or waiting for 21” All Season tyre availability

· We would ask you to please do the same for GLC customer complaints that you have received and managed locally or for any future GLC complaints about this issue until further notice

· Please also take the following action for customers who have ordered their car but have yet to take delivery, and for future customers of existing dealer and pipeline stock until further notice:
• Please make sure they are aware of this characteristic.
• Customers proceeding with delivery have the option to take All Season tyres as soon as they are available or to wait and change to them if/when they experience this sensation in Winter 2017/18.
• For customers who do not wish to take delivery of their GLC with summer tyres, please offer a courtesy car until the All Season tyres are available for their car.

For all the cases above concerning provision and fitment of All Season tyres, please submit a goodwill claim against damage code 2113800.
We will provide updates concerning any interaction we have with your customers, together with availability of the aftermarket All Season tyres and the logistics process involved.

Yours faithfully
