NHTSA Complaint #11548553 — 2022 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2500

The “Cross Wind Assist” my vehicle came equipped from the factory with has nearly caused me to have a serious accident due directly to -totally - distracting me when driving the speed limit on a major highway. The “Cross Wind Assist” activates with no notice to the driver and indiscriminately applies the brakes with out any warning and momentarily causes loss of steering control as the vehicle overcorrects to compensate for detected crosswinds. The majority of the time this happens when passing or being passed by large fast moving tractor trailers. I am not the only one with this complaint as noted on this forum stream: [XXX] I firmly believe this will cause me, or other drivers of Mercedes Benz Sprinter Vans - to wreck and potentially harm innocent drivers around me when the “Cross Wind Assist” is activated with no notice to me as I am driving by overcorrecting while fighting the aggressive automatic “cross wind assist”. The “Cross Wind Assist” is NOT driver selectable, i.e., the driver cannot turn this feature off. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
