Thank you for your input Regarding the control module connection, could you elaborate on the specific area that was problematic Was it the connection at the steering column itself, or somewhere else in the system Furthermore, were there any other symptoms present besides the intermittent failure of the steering controls I am trying to understand if it is a similar problem before going to the workshop

Honestly, I don't recall the exact location of the problematic connection It was a while ago, and the workshop took care of it But given your car is still quite new, and the error is stored in memory, it really points to a deeper electrical fault If vehicle diagnostics point to a cable within the steering wheel, you are probably facing the truth At that repair cost, I'd say go ahead and get it fixed

I also drive a Mercedes AMG GT Your situation rings a bell A while back, I experienced intermittent failures with the steering controls Certain functions would simply become unresponsive It turned out to be a faulty control module connection, if I remember correctly Have you checked the relevant fuses It’s worth a look before tearing into the steering wheel
