2018 Mercedes-benz GLS-Class Complaints

MY GLS-450 HAS THE 'LIGHTING PACKAGE' WITH ACTIVE LED HEADLAMPS INCLUDING 'CORNER-ILLUMINATING FRONT HEADLAMPS, ACTIATED (ACTIVATED SPELLED WRONG) BY THE STEERING WHEEL OR TURN-SIGNAL USE, BRIGHTEN YOUR WAY INTO DRIVEWAYS AND GARAGES.'

THE VEHICLE TENDS TO DRIVE TOWARD THE LEFT OF CENTER, NOT IN THE CENTER OF THE LANE. STEERING PILOT TRIES TO TAKE OFF RAMPS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT FROM THE FREEWAYS, AND TRIES TO TURN DOWN STREETS ON SURFACE ROADS WHEN I WANT TO GO STRAIGHT.
