Very loud steering rack creak when turning max left (parking) - steering rack gone?

Sound like a old crown Vic with busted joints

Got that ambient light warning a few times a few weeks ago. Thought it was referring to inside LED lights as upper half of them stopped working. Eventually went away and all interior lights came back. Never even thought about outside lights seeing dead ones on the inside, lol. Have a list of about 15 random and intermittent software glitches (the techs favorite type to diagnose!) and taking in for recall and diagnostics tomorrow to Calabasas MBZ tomorrow.

The icing on cake came yesterday while driving on the 405 when the screen rebooted itself about half a dozen times and turned black except radio and a/c info. Called the dealer re reboot options and the tech had no idea. EVENTUALLY I FIGURED OUT TO PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR A FEW SECONDS, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD REBOOT A PC. That worked but wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience while running late for a medical appointment in an unfamiliar part of town. Totally feel like an MBUX guinea pig!

Anyone else having issues with MBUX not recognizing common names for destination? Asked to guide me to Pepperdine University in Malibu and it came back multiple times saying it couldn’t find it (same as a bunch of other locations it used to be able to find), eventually it decided that it found a match of Prince something rather… in Missouri! :sob::sob::sob:

Might sound stupid but can you go over a speed bump, if it freaks it’s the sway bars, but if it’s when turning I’d be suspicious it’s the steering rack.

Apparently it happens every so often, my benz dealer wasn’t surprised at all.

My sister got an EQS as a service loaner yesterday.

The nav is awful. Biggest shame is it makes the HUD relatively useless. I can’t even get it to find one of the bigger EA stations in LA, which means I can’t pre-condition the battery if I go there unless I navigate to another charging station and ignore the directions. Least favorite part about the car.

No mention if these were sales from leases which I imagine is probably a big part of it.

Article also mentions Ford and GM EV sales are falling… maybe if they had better lease programs. :slight_smile:

It’s easier to post big % when the baseline is next to nothing.

I shared this with my MB dealer and he said they haven’t sold a single EQS in June while in April, they sold 12. Goes to show you what happens when they mess with the lease programs.

Should we expect crazy deals in September to boost the 3rd quarter sales? LOL
I would say that the EV sales in the 2nd quarter reached the ceiling for this year.

I spoke to the dealer I got my 3 EQS from and he said he was flooded with LH members calling. Most of them try to haggle more but he declined to discount further. Apparently a member on here tried to lowball a monthly payment of $3xx a month lol

I was under wrong impression that this service is free… not sure if this make sense to spend $300 for the next two years.

Non-trivial chance the car gets bought back or lemoned before then.
