I am experiencing issues with my active curve system, that other mb models of the same year and class are experiencing. Some of the 2016 gle's have been recalled for this particular issue, but my vehicle/vin has not been included in the recall. I receive this error message when turning a curve. My vehicle is under warranty and mb will not pay for this with my cpo warranty. The dealership has quoted me $6984.00 to fix the issue.
