Common Problem
TL;DR
• The 2021 S-Class has reported issues mainly with electronics and software, including problems with Parktronic, central display, and intermittent system failures.
• Some features like multi-contour seats have been omitted due to parts shortages.
• Warranty coverage is crucial due to potential high repair costs.
Electronics and Software Issues
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has encountered several electronic and software-related issues. Users have reported problems with systems such as Parktronic and central displays not functioning properly. These issues are often attributed to the complex technology integrated into the vehicle, which increases the likelihood of malfunctions. Dealerships have noted that diagnosing these issues can be challenging due to random communication errors, leading to a reliance on software updates and module replacements.
Feature Omissions Due to Parts Shortages
Some features, such as the multi-contour seats, have been omitted from certain models due to parts shortages. This has been a common issue across various car manufacturers during the recent global supply chain disruptions. While some customers have been able to order vehicles with the desired features for future delivery, others have had to accept models without them.
Importance of Warranty
Given the complexity and potential for high repair costs associated with the new S-Class, purchasing a full warranty is highly recommended. This can cover expensive repairs and even routine maintenance tasks like oil changes. However, it's important to note that having a warranty does not always guarantee a hassle-free experience, as dealerships may still contest certain claims.
General Reliability Concerns
Overall, while some owners report no issues with their 2021 S-Class, others have experienced reliability concerns typical of first-generation models. It's advisable to wait for subsequent model years where initial kinks might be ironed out, as suggested by some users who prefer the previous generation's proven reliability.
