Mercedes GLS Diesel Software Malfunction

The electrical malfunctions appear to be somewhat random, affecting different systems intermittently. When you had similar issues with your Vauxhall, did the problem stem from a general software glitch, or was there a specific module that was causing the problem?

With the Vauxhall it was a total nightmare. The whole system needed a recalibration, which they blamed on bad software. Your symptoms sound pretty familiar. I'd take it to a workshop. They'll probably run a full diagnostic check to be sure, but it sounds like a software thing to me.

I took the vehicle to an authorized service center. They confirmed a software recalibration is needed to resolve the software malfunction. Thanks again for the advice.

That sounds rough. I had something similar happen with my old Vauxhall Astra except there were engine issues. Is there one specific electrical thing that isn't working or is it just random stuff?
