2016 W176 A class sport executive 1499cc diesel
Hi all,
New to all this, but having a real issue with my W176 2016 a class 180 diesel.

* it decides if it wants to start or not. If not, shows anti theft message in infotainment system. Then cooling fan kicks and sounds like it wants to take off and won’t stop. Even if I remove key and lock the car. Has occasionally happened just by unlocking the door
* Mercedes have had it for 3 recalls, airbag, steering column and can’t remember the other. Car has been awful ever since.
* Have had AA and two mechanics look at it, but what’s worse is car not communicating to any DB11 device!

It’s driving me insane…..Mercedes said “Nothing done by us would cause any issue (even though they didn’t connect the cooling fan back up, when I got home and checked the car.)

Long shot…….but anyone have any ideas?

Welcome, check your battery is fully charged would be my starting place. We have had loads of electrical issues on this forum down to battery low voltage.

Sorry I can't help with your problems it sounds very annoying!

But above advice is a good starting point.

Have you taken it to a good Mercedes indy for investigation?
