A similar issue was shared by another Mercedes owner, who had a communication problem between control units that required reprogramming and synchronization.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. That sounds pretty similar to my problem. Can you remember how much the whole thing cost you? And did you have any other weird stuff with your Mercedes after the repair? I hope not, but it's always good to know what else to potentially expect. Many thanks in advance!

Hey, sure, no problem. So fixing the problem with the sporadic faulty communication between the control units wasn't cheap - it cost me €955. But afterwards, my Mercedes was like new again. And as for the Ad-Blue tank you mentioned: I had a problem with that too, but it was fixed after the workshop visit. After that, there were no more strange things. It was quite a scare, but everything is fine now. I hope everything will be fine for you too!

Wow, that sounds like a lot of money, but if it helps, it's money well spent. It looks like I can't put off my trip to the garage any longer. Thanks again for your help and words of encouragement. It has really helped me. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything works out like it did for you. Here's to hopefully breakdown-free times, cheers!

Hello, sounds almost like my Mercedes GLE 350d from 2011. A few months ago I had exactly the same problem. When driving, the indicator lights came on and I got the error message: "Sporadic faulty communication between control units". The mechanic at my garage said that it was a communication problem between the different control units. The control units had to be reprogrammed and synchronized. This is certainly a serious problem as it can lead to malfunctions in other components of your car if it is not fixed. So don't worry unnecessarily, but get it checked and possibly fixed at a garage as soon as possible. Good luck with that!
