My vehicle is equipped with a camera system which, when in reverse gear, displays objects/people behind the vehicle and, when going forward to park, displays objects/vehicles ahead. For the first 11 months of ownership, the system has worked properly. For the last 6 months the system has worked intermittently. The vehicle, purchased new, is under warranty and has been returned to the dealership 4 times for software updates and and part replacements. Two weeks after the last visit, the camera system was inoperative again. Shortly after I returned home and went out again the camera system worked properly. Several years ago, Mercedes recalled 347,000 vehicles for a similar problem. My vehicle was purchased after the recall and did not fall into the category of vehicles that were recalled but it seems that, with the Mercedes brand, the problem still persists. To the extent the camera system will alert you to the presence of a person when backing up, this is a safety issue which needs to be addressed. Thank you
