20260212CrashFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 exhibits a critical "Spatial Mapping Offset" defect within the MBUX 360-degree camera interface and the Active Brake Assist (ABA) logic. Specifically, the digital rendering of physical obstacles on the dashboard display is offset by approximately 0.5 feet (6 inches). This creates a "false clear" condition where the driver is visually signaled that an obstacle has been cleared while the vehicle’s chassis is still in a strike position.

On [XXX], my wife and I were driving our 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 when I pulled over after sensing vibration on the highway. Upon inspection, all four tires were found to be severely worn, with the right rear tire completely bald and showing exposed steel belts. I have attached photos of the tires. The vehicle had been serviced at Mercedes-Benz of Wesley Chapel, FL at 10,000 miles in January 2025, and the dealer noted the rear tires were at 3–4/32" tread depth. Despite this, we were not war

It is cracked almost all around and somewhat dislocated. Upon close inspection in can be seen that cracks run throughout the glass panel. There is no single point of impact of a possible foreign object, so I can rule out the possibility of something hitting it with h
